Ionic liquids: a versatile medium for palladium-catalyzed reactions

Abstract

A number of carbon-carbon bond forming reactions in organic chemistry (such as the Heck, Suzuki, Stille, Negishi, Sonogashira coupling etc) are facilitated by catalysis with palladium compounds. An attempt has been made to present a detailed and comprehensive literature collection about the versatility of ionic liquid in conjunction with palladium for various types of reactions.
