Abstract

The development of sustainable methodologies for carbon–carbon bond formation is among the key objectives in modern organic synthesis. Catalytic cross-coupling reactions have proven to be efficient and versatile tools for assembling even complex molecular structures.[1] In classical redox-neutral cross-coupling reactions, carbon electrophiles, for example, aryl halides [Eq.(1); X= halide], are regiospecifically coupled with carbon ...
