The use of emerging multicomponent reactions (MCRs) in conjunction with microwave (MW)-assisted chemistry techniques is dramatically reducing chemical waste and reaction times in several organic syntheses and chemical transformations. MW-assisted active methylene-based multicomponent reactions serve as a rapid and efficient tool for the synthesis of versatile heterocycles, particularly those containing structural diversity and complexity via a one-pot operation. This minireview covers our recent advances on multicomponent reactions involving active methylene compounds for the construction of bioactive molecule skeletons. In many cases, MW-assisted MCRs offer considerable improvements in selectivity, chemical yield and purity and constitutes a very simple and extremely rapid method to access a diverse range of heterocyclic motifs.

Isothiourea-catalyzed multicomponent cascade reactions are challenging due to the existence of competitive side reactions between multiple reaction partners and intermediates. Herein, we report a practical and efficient protocol for the stereoselective divergent synthesis of pyrazolone-derived β-amino acid esters and β-lactams by isothiourea catalysis. Two distinct reaction pathways are identified, which are controlled by esterification or lactamization of the zwitterionic intermediate.

The unique structure and strong interaction of multiphase hybrid materials have garnered significant attention as prospective candidates for electrode materials in the realm of energy storage. The present study presents a rational design of a functional NiSe-CoSe/N, B double-doped carbon hybrid composite (NCS/C), resulting in the emergence of various novel cooperative regulatory mechanisms involving: (i) the heterogeneous structure of NiSe and CoSe generates built-in electric fields to increase electron mobility; (ii) the incorporation of polyatomic double-doped carbon (N, and B) expedites electron transfer rate; intriguingly, (iii) ionic liquids not only serve as polyatomic dopants in the reaction system but also influence the microstructure of the composite. Benefiting from these synergistic effects, the NCS/C hybrid exhibits remarkable charge storage capacity and rapid electrochemical kinetics, driven by its multi-fold hollow structure and multicomponent cooperative modulation.

The rational design of multicomponent heterostructure is an effective strategy to enhance the catalytic activity of electrocatalysts for water and seawater electrolysis in alkaline conditions. Herein, MOF-derived nitrogen-doped carbon/nickel-cobalt sulfides coupled vertically aligned Rhenium disulfide (ReS) on carbon cloth (NC-CoNiS@ReS/CC) are constructed via hydrothermal and activation approaches. Experimental and theoretical analysis demonstrates that the strong interactions between multiple interfaces promote electron redistribution and facilitate water dissociation, thereby optimizing *H adsorption energy for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

A mixed-ligand-based thermo-chemically robust and undulated metal-organic framework (MOF) is developed that embraces carboxamide moiety-grafted porous channels and activation-induced generation of open-metal site (OMS). The guest-free MOF acts as an outstanding heterogeneous catalyst in Hantzsch condensation for electronically assorted substrates with low catalyst loading and short duration under greener conditions than the reported materials. Besides Lewis acidic OMS, the carboxamide group activates the substrate via two-point hydrogen bonding, highlighting the effectiveness of custom-made functionalities in this multi-component reaction.
