%0 Book Section %T Multicomponent Reactions for the Synthesis of Natural Products and Natural Product-Like Libraries publisher Springer %D 2023 %U 9783031352041 %U 9783031352058 %@ https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/128998 %X Multicomponent reactions involve at least three starting materials that are combined in a single operation and are convergent, atom-economic, and step-efficient. They provide a highly efficient alternative to sequential multistep procedures and are therefore ideally suited for simplifying target-oriented synthetic efforts. In this context, this chapter reviews the use of multicomponent reactions as key step for natural product synthesis. %~
