Stille Reaction

The Stille reaction is a chemical process used by scientists to join two organic molecules, typically to create complex compounds like medicines or materials. It involves a palladium catalyst helping to connect a tin-based compound with a halogenated (containing a halogen atom like chlorine or bromine) molecule. The reaction is efficient and selective, allowing chemists to precisely link components in a controlled way. This technique is valuable in chemical research and manufacturing because it enables the formation of carbon–carbon bonds without disrupting other parts of the molecules involved.
