Abstract: Abstract: Recently, multi-component reactions (MCRs) have gained special attention due to their
versatility for the synthesis of polycyclic heterocycles. Moreover, their applicability can become more
widespread as they can be combined together as a union of MCRs. In this overview, the authors have
tried to collect the MCRs containing more than seven components that can lead to effectual
heterocycles in organic and/or pharmaceutical chemistry. The review contains papers published up to
the end of 2020. The subject is classified based on the number of substrates, such as seven-, eight-,
nine-, ten-, and more components. The authors expect their report to be helpful for researchers to
clarify their route to significant MCRs.
