When cross-coupling partners meet indolylphosphines

Indolylphosphines have been successful as unique and efficient ligands for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. This review summarizes the recent decade developments and applications of different coupling partners in these reactions that employ indolylphosphines as supporting ligands. The ligand structural motifs and their specific catalytic activity are discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
