Abstract
Issue Title: Special issue on Mini-MCR issue and SCS-09 - Second International Symposium on Combinatorial Sciences in Biology, Chemistry, Catalysts and Materials
The Gewald reaction of sulfur, cyanoacetic acid derivatives, and oxo-component (G-3CR) yielding highly substituted 2-aminothiophene derivatives has seen diverse applications in combinatorial and medicinal chemistry. Its products are of great use in pharmaceutical industry mainly as small molecular weight inhibitors. We herein review synthetic scope and variations, usage, and structural biology of Gewald products.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
