Recent Advances in Metal-Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions Assisted by Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions are some of the most important subjects in synthetic chemistry as they are reliable tools for carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond formation. This Short Review focuses on recent advances in microwave-assisted coupling reactions using transition-metal nanoparticle catalysts.
