Recent advancements review Suzuki and Heck reactions catalyzed by metalloporphyrins

The carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions are one of the most common in organic and inorganic chemistry. Carbon coupling reactions are a group of chemical reactions in which two hydrocarbon precursors are connected via a metal catalyst in order to create a single structure. Due to the extensive usage of carbon-carbon bond formation reactions in various fields, including the synthesis of natural products, active compounds, and high-performance materials, especially in pharmaceuticals and chemical industries, it has become a universally used reaction. The Heck and Suzuki reactions are two of the most common carbon-carbon bond formation re-actions. One of the most critical factors in these reactions is the type of catalysts. Hence various catalysts such as nanoparticles, metalloporphyrins, and nanocomposites were applied. This review investigates the metal catalysts of metalloporphyrins or their impact on several porphyrin substrates in the Heck and Suzuki reactions. Due to the advantages of porphyrins, such as development made on the synthesis of porphyrins, non-toxicity, high flexi-bility, and various characteristics, this type of catalyst was selected for passing the electronics properties, longevity, and good capacity. Also, product yield, catalyst recovery during the reactions, and the impacts of solvent and base in recent years are studied. Finally, we have discussed some applications of the synthesized compounds.
