Suzuki reaction
Suzuki reaction Named after Akira Suzuki Reaction type Coupling reaction Identifiers Organic Chemistry Portal suzuki-coupling RSC ontology ID RXNO:0000140 The Suzuki reaction is an organic reaction, classified as a coupling reaction, where the coupling partners are a boronic acid and an organohalide catalyzed by a palladium(0) complex. [1] [2] [3] It was first published in 1979 by Akira Suzuki and he shared the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Richard F. Heck and Ei-ichi Negishi for their effort for discovery and development of palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis. [4] In many publications this reaction also goes by the name Suzuki–Miyaura reaction and is also referred to as the Suzuki coupling . It is widely used to synthesize poly-olefins, styrenes, and substituted biphenyls. Several reviews have been published describing advancements and the development of the Suzuki Reaction.
