Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling encompasses a family of reactions that form carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds by joining two organic fragments under the action of copper catalysts. Traditional ...

Coupling reactions are among the most transformative tools in organic chemistry, enabling the formation of crucial chemical bonds in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. Since their ...

It’s hard to improve on a classic. But Richard Y. Liu was eager to take on that challenge. Cross-coupling reactions, including Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and Buchwald-Hartwig amination, are some of the ...

Organic chemists have tended to avoid using water to host reactions, largely because their carbon-based molecules rarely dissolve in the liquid. Now, Burkhard König at the University of Regensburg has ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

In a recent review article, a research team outlined recent progress in transition metal-free techniques to achieve coupling. Their combined efforts in these methods could help minimize waste and ...
