Abstract How to access efficiently the macrocyclic structure remained to be a challenging synthetic topic. Although many elegant approaches/reactions have been developed, construction of diverse collection of macrocycles is stiU elusive. This chapter summarized the recently emerged research area dealing with multi-component synthesis of macrocycles, with particular emphasis on the approach named multiple multicomponent reaction using two bifunctional building blocks .
