Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are one-pot reactions employing more than two starting
materials, for example, 3, 4,..., 7, where most of the atoms of the starting materials are …

They react according to a succession of mono-or bimolecular processes to form at the end
one product that incorporates important portions and functionalities of the starting materials …

Multicomponent reactions are flexible reactions for the rapid generation of complex
molecules with often biologically relevant scaffold structures. Combined with the ease of …

A short and efficient route to a broad range of imidazo [1, 2-a] pyridines from 2-
aminopyridines and acetophenones is achieved by a tandem, one-pot process starting with …

Imidazo [1, 2‐a] pyridine is a well‐known scaffold in many marketed drugs, such as
