Cross-Coupling Reactions: An Overview e-bog

Cross-Coupling Reactions: An Overview opens with an overview of the fundamentals and applications of the young and fast developing area of transition metal catalyzed/mediated oxidative (dehydrogenative) CH/CH coupling reactions between two (hetero)arenes. Continuing, the authors highlight the recent advances reagarding the ligand supported transition metal-catalyzed domino (cascade) or one-pot syntheses of various heterocycles involving cross-coupling reactions. The recent advances in Cu catalyzed tandem reactions for heterocycle synthesis are also addressed. Cu metal chemistry has garnered attention as a potential alternative to precious transition metals, being cheaper, more sustainable and more easily available. A comprehensive account of research on green chemical routes is provided, involving various palladium metal-based catalysts utilized in facilitating cross-coupling reaction in aqueous media. Reported decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions are discussed along with suitable examples, focusing on their mechanism of action.
