Abstract

Reactions leading to the formation of C–C bonds are central to the synthesis of complex organic molecules. The potent utility of Pd-catalyzed transformations (such as Heck and Suzuki reactions) in this regard has assured their place at the forefront of modern synthetic technologies. 1 These transformations, normally performed with 1–5 mol % of Pd catalyst along with phosphine ligands, have already been widely utilized in the academic institutions. ...
