“…On the other hand, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have steadily gained significance in synthetic organic chemistry [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. MCRs offer many benefits—e.g., greater yields, high atom efficiency, reduced reaction time, high convergence, minimisation of purification requirements and waste generation—compared to multiple-step syntheses [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Typically, multi-step procedures require the purification of reaction products in each step and demand appropriate solvents and reagents.…”
