Development of green methodologies for Heck, Chan-Lam, Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions

Organic reactions under green conditions have become popular day by day because of increased use of harmful chemicals leading to environmental hazards. This review focuses the implementation of green chemistry in Suzuki-Miyaura, Heck, Stille and Chan-Lam cross-coupling reactions incorporating a variety of strategies in which ionic liquids, water and microwave irradiations are extensively used.
