Current developments in Michael addition-based Multicomponent domino reactions involving 1,3-dicarbonyls and derivatives

The aim of this mini-review is to present an overview of the high synthetic potential of Multicomponent Reactions (MCRs) involving the specific reactivity of easily accessible 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives. The present contribution only focuses on sequences in which the first step consists of a Michael addition. Recent developments of these new useful methodologies valuable for the selective construction of highly functionalized heterocycles of high synthetic value are surveyed.
