Abstract
Chemical scrabble: Mechanistic studies of complex organocatalytic cascade reactions are challenging owing to the presence of many species involved. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry provides details about a one-pot quadruple organocatalytic cascade reaction, and allows detailed characterization of the reaction and its key intermediates.
