Recent Advances in Microwave Assisted Multicomponent Reactions

Microwave (MW) assisted multicomponent reactions (MCRs) provide facile and expeditious procedures for the synthesis of several diversely functionalised molecules. Significant enhancement in selectivity, purity and reproducibility is offered by this process. Shorter reaction times as well as higher product yield are attained efficiently using MW assisted MCRs. The present review focuses on the developments in this field covering literature from 2013-2019 and the topic is categorised based on the final products obtained.
