Multicomponent reactions in solid-phase synthesis

Curr Opin Drug Discov Devel. 2007 Nov;10(6):704-14.

Abstract

Multicomponent reactions are a powerful tool in combinatorial chemistry and diversity-oriented synthesis for the assembly of collections of complex molecules in a highly straightforward and efficient manner. Additional advantages in terms of isolation and purification can be obtained by performing these condensations on a polymeric support or with the aid of solid-supported reagents, scavengers or catalysts. This review covers research published in this area during the last two years and provides a perspective of future directions.
