Natural products Hiyama cross-coupling reaction

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of alkenyl-, aryl-, alkynyl- and alkylsiloxanes with aryl, alkyl, and alkenyl halides and triflates in the presence of activators is known as the Hiyama cross-coupling reaction and several reviews have been published. This chapter will present major developments and examples of recent carbon-carbon bond formation methodology and improvements as well as their use in natural products synthesis in the last few years.
