Suzuki-Miyaura coupling

The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling is a chemical reaction used by chemists to connect two different organic molecules, often to create complex compounds like medicines or materials. It involves a palladium catalyst helping a boronic acid (or boronate ester) react with an aryl or vinyl halide (a molecule with a halogen), forming a new carbon-carbon bond. This process is valued for its efficiency, selectivity, and ability to work under mild conditions, making it a powerful tool for building advanced chemical structures in a controlled and reliable way.
