In organic chemistry, a coupling reaction is a type of reaction in which two reactant molecules are bonded together. Such reactions often require the aid of a metal catalyst. In one important reaction type, a main group organometallic compound of the type R-M (where R = organic group, M = main group centre metal atom) reacts with an organic halide of the type R'-X with formation of a new carbon-carbon bond in the product R-R'. The most common type of coupling reaction is the cross coupling reaction.[1][2][3]
Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions.[4][5]
Broadly speaking, two types of coupling reactions are recognized:
Homocouplings joining two identical partners. The product is symmetrical R−R
Heterocouplings joining two different partners. These reactions are also called cross-coupling reactions.[6] The product is unsymmetrical, R−R'.
