• Multi Component Reactions (MCRs) are convergent reactions.
•MCRs are those reactions whereby more than two reactants combine
in a sequential manner to give highly selective products that retain
majority of the atoms of the starting material.

4. Kabachnik-Fields Reaction
This MCR was discovered in 1952 independently by Martin I. Kabachnik & Ellis K. Fields
Synthetic targets as phosphorus
analogues of α-aminoacids
Enzyme inhibitors, antibiotics,
pharmacological agents
Involves synthesis of α-amino phosphonates which is a one-pot, three-
component reaction using carbonyl compound, amine and dialkyl phosphite.
Conditions
Amines like Primary or Secondary
Aldehydes like formaldehyde and benzaldehyde
Ketones like acetone, acetophenone and cyclohexanone
symmetrical dialkyl phosphites
Solvents like benzene, toluene, isopropanol

7. Amino-component
Ammonia, it’s silylated derivatives
aliphatic, aromatic
heterocyclic amines
dicyanoethylamine
trans-1,2- diaminocyclohexane
Aminoadamantanes
Aminopyridines
Aminotetrazoles
Aminobenzofurazanes
crosslinked aminoacids
Carbonyl-component
Mainly Aldehydes
e. g., salicylaldehyde
3-indol-aldehydes
Rarely Ketones are used
Phospho-containing component
P-H containing compounds
HP(O)(OH)2, H3PO2
H2P(O)OR, R2PHO
(RO)4P-H, P(OR)3
Catalysis
Energy → microwave irradiation itself or in combination with catalyst,
Ionic liquids as solvents, Ultrasonic radiation
Use of appropriate dehydrating agents e.g. MgSO4, molecular sieves
Use of catalysts Lewis acids are effective catalysts; make carbonyl group more electrophilic
Water deactivates the Lewis acid→Overcame by co-use of catalyst with dehydrating agent
or by application of catalysts being stable in water, Like some rare earth metal triflates.
e.g. lanthanide triflates/MgSO4, metal triflates/no solvent, scandium (tris-dodecyl sulfate),
TaCl5-SiO2, Ln(OTf)3 –ionic liquid, Lanthanide triflates/ionic liquids, SmI2, AlCl3.
