The Current Status of Heterogeneous Palladium Catalysed Heck and Suzuki Cross-Coupling Reactions.

In the last 30 years, C⁻C cross coupling reactions have become a reliable technique in organic synthesis due their versatility and efficiency. While drawbacks have been experienced on an industrial scale with the use of homogenous systems, many attempts have been made to facilitate a heterogeneous renaissance. Thus, this review gives an overview of the current status of the use of heterogeneous catalysts particularly in Suzuki and Heck reactions.
