Advances in C-C Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Homogeneous Phosphine Free Palladium Catalysts

Carbon-carbon coupling reactions are one of the most important systems to be studied and the design of palladium based phosphine free catalysts is crucial. In this account, we present a summary of the work carried out by our research group on the design and synthesis of efficient palladium based phosphine free catalysts for the Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions of deactivated and sterically hindered substrates.
