Recent contributions to the Diversity-Oriented Synthesis (DOS) mediated by iminium ions through multicomponent Mannich-type reactions

Abstract

This short account summarizes the most recent contributions of the author and his collaborators to the Diversity Oriented Synthesis (DOS) mediated, at least in a step of the process, by Mannich-type reactions (MTR) and using formaldehyde as common starting material in all cases. Through this strategy, diverse nitrogen-containing acyclic and heterocyclic systems were synthesized, whether in straightforward or multicomponent approaches.
