Methods that let chemists bypass that premetalation step in favor of directly stitching together two aryl halides have been gaining momentum. Such methods could shorten syntheses and cut waste.

The proposed framework results in the formulation of an original “Golden Rule” that offers enhanced predictive accuracy for predicting the transference numbers of ions in monovalent and divalent metal ...

2008). Similarly, the Sonogashira coupling, which involves the palladium-catalyzed coupling of terminal alkynes with aryl or vinyl halides, has been instrumental in synthesizing alkynylated anthracene ...
