One-pot strategy: A highly economical tool in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry

In chemistry one-pot synthesis is a technique that allows multiple chemical transformations of substrates to target molecules in single reaction flask. This strategy is considered to be an attractive approach and widely accepted reaction strategy in synthetic organic chemistry. This protocol has several significant advantages over the conventional multistep reaction processes. The most important advantages of this protocol include high atom economy, less reaction time, minimum workup, and less separation of the products after each reaction. In this chapter, we wish to focus on various one-pot syntheses toward biologically relevant molecules and chemotherapeutics agents. This method also includes various catalytic operations that are performed in one-pot.
