A cascade reaction or tandem reaction or domino reaction is a consecutive series of intramolecular organic reactions which often proceed via highly reactive intermediates.

Domino-type reactions involve careful design of a multistep reaction in a one-pot sequence in which the first step creates the functionality to trigger the second reaction and so on, making this approach economical and environmentally friendly.
