Suzuki-Miyaura Reaction

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction is a chemical process used by scientists to connect two organic molecules, often aromatic rings, to create new compounds. It involves a palladium catalyst helping a boron-containing compound (boronic acid or ester) react with an organic halide or similar group, forming a carbon-carbon bond. This reaction is valuable in pharmaceuticals, materials, and agriculture because it’s efficient, selective, and compatible with many functional groups, enabling precise construction of complex molecules vital for various applications.
