Stille coupling

Stille coupling is a chemical reaction used by scientists to connect two organic molecules using a palladium catalyst and a special type of compound called an organostannane. This process allows for precise formation of carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the synthesis of complex molecules like pharmaceuticals and materials. Essentially, it’s a controlled way to "link" parts of molecules together, much like snapping puzzle pieces into place, facilitating the creation of new compounds with specific properties.
