Multicomponent Synthesis of the Medicinally Important Pyrrolo[2,3-d]Pyrimidine Scaffold (Minireview)

Multicomponent reactions are emerging as a powerful tool in the synthesis of heterocyclic privileged medicinal scaffolds. This highlight describes a recently developed approach to the construction of the medicinally important pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine scaffold using a one-pot synthesis from commercially available starting materials via novel multicomponent reactions.
