Abstract
New synthetic protocols arise from the use of fundamental O- and N-heterocycles as the key reagents in multicomponent reactions. The participation of cyclic enol-ethers, dihydropyridines and (benzo-fused)azines in these processes lead, in a straightforward manner, to a diverse set of complex drug-like compounds.
