Multicatalysis is an emerging field targeting the development of efficient catalytic transformations to quickly convert relatively simple starting materials into more complex value-added products. Within multicatalytic processes either multiple catalysts execute single reactions or precise sequences occur in a "one-pot" fashion. Attractively, protocols not only enable that are inaccessible through classic approaches but also able significantly reduce time, waste, and cost synthetic processes, making organic synthesis resources efficient. In this Perspective article, we review different strategies multicatalysis bring distinct challenges opportunities. We divide overarching three main categories: cooperative, domino, relay catalysis. Each category described along with representative examples highlight its features. Special emphasis dedicated catalysis, which further discussed subcategories.
