Kumada coupling
Videos
In organic chemistry, the Kumada coupling is a type of cross coupling reaction, useful for generating carbon–carbon bonds by the reaction of a Grignard reagent and an organic halide. The procedure use

Akira Suzuki is a Japanese chemist and Nobel Prize Laureate, who first published the Suzuki reaction, the organic reaction of an aryl- or vinyl-boronic acid with an aryl- or vinyl-halide catalyzed by
Kumada coupling
…Subsequently, many additional coupling techniques have been developed, culminating in the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry being awarded to Ei-ichi Negishi, Akira Suzuki and Richard F. Heck for their contributions to the field. According to the widely accepted mechanism, the palladium-catalyzed Kumada coupling is…
