Suzuki-Miyaura coupling advances

Traditionally, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings have been performed mainly with aryl iodides, triflates, and bromides as electrophiles because of the lower activation barriers for the oxidative addition step (I OTf > Br > Cl 3> F) [2d, 32). However, because of the cost associated with relatively expensive organoiodides, bromides, and triflates, the development of other cheaper and more readily accessible electrophiles became necessary. In this section, recent advances in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction employing various organohahdes and pseudohalides will be discussed in detail.
