title: Recent developments in combinatorial organic synthesis.
abstract: The level of sophistication of combinatorial synthesis continues to increase at a heady pace. Fairly complex target molecules are now being assembled combinatorially using a broad palette of organic reactions both in solution- and solid-phase. This review highlights academic and industrial examples of combinatorial synthesis published within the last year. Recent advances in small-molecule synthesis are outlined, ranging from simple acyclic scaffolds to complex natural products.
