This review is a comprehensive account of transitionmetal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to form C-P bonds. Organized according to the hybridization of the carbon coupling partner, the numerous phosphorus coupling partners are discussed individually. The several putative mechanisms of these transition-metal catalyses are also included, thereby providing insights into both the synthetic and the mechanistic aspects of this chemistry. A separate section is devoted to asymmetric C-P cross-couplings. 2.7.
