We review here new developments in decreasing the catalyst loadings in palladium-catalyzed C-C bond-formation reactions to mol ppm or mol ppb levels.T his decreasest he cost of the catalyst and the toxicity of the reactions ystem, making the reactionm ore attractive to industry.T he Heck reaction, Sonogashira reaction, Suzuki-Miyaurac rosscoupling reaction, other cross-coupling reactions,a nd allylic arylation reactions are separately discussedt o show clearly the progress made in each type of reaction. Apart from the catalyst loading, the other parameters of the reaction( temperature,s olvent, etc.) are brieflyd iscussed to illustrate the shift toward greenerc onditions.F or most reactions,t his shift is underway or wella dvanced, andc atalyst loadings have been decreasedt ob elow 1mol ppm. An abundance of catalytic systems are now available,a nd it is sometimes difficult to identify the best one,b ecause the substratese xamined can vary widely from publication to publication.I nt he future,e mphasis should be placed on the studyingt he full scope of the reaction at mol ppm catalyst loadings,r athert han examining af ew examples at these levels during the reaction-optimization process.1I ntroduction 2M izoroki-Heck Coupling 3S onogashira Coupling 4S uzuki-MiyauraCross-Coupling 5O ther Cross-Coupling Reactions 6A llylic Arylation 7C onclusions
