Suzuki organoboron cross-coupling partners

The Suzuki Coupling, which is the palladium-catalysed cross coupling between organoboronic acid and halides. Recent catalyst and methods developments have broadened the possible applications enormously, so that the scope of the reaction partners is not restricted to aryls, but includes alkyls, alkenyls and alkynyls. Potassium trifluoroborates and organoboranes or boronate esters may be used in place of boronic acids. Some pseudohalides (for example triflates) may also be used as coupling partners. 

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction involves the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between organoboron compounds and halides. In most cases, aryl halides are used as electrophiles, but recent developments have broadened the scope and alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl halides can be successfully used as reaction partners. Among C—C coupling reactions, Suzuki-Miyaura reaction has become one of the most appealing because the reactants are air stable, nontoxic and tolerant of a variety of functional groups.
