{{Short description|Chemical reaction in which two molecules are joined due to a metal catalyst}}

In organic chemistry, a '''cross-coupling reaction''' is a reaction where two different fragments are joined. Cross-couplings are a subset of the more general coupling reactions. Often cross-coupling reactions require metal catalysts. One important reaction type is this: :<chem>R-M + R'X -> R-R' + MX</chem> ::R, R' = organic fragments, usually aryl; ::M = main group center such as Li or Mg; ::X = halide

These reactions are used to form carbon–carbon bonds but also carbon-heteroatom bonds.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/acs.chemrev.8b00628 |title=Cross-Coupling of Heteroatomic Electrophiles |date=2019 |last1=Korch |first1=Katerina M. |last2=Watson |first2=Donald A. |journal=Chemical Reviews |volume=119 |issue=13 |pages=8192–8228 |pmid=31184483 |pmc=6620169 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/cr0505268 |title=Selected Patented Cross-Coupling Reaction Technologies |date=2006 |last1=Corbet |first1=Jean-Pierre |last2=Mignani |first2=Gérard |journal=Chemical Reviews |volume=106 |issue=7 |pages=2651–2710 |pmid=16836296 }}</ref><!--<ref>''Organic Synthesis using Transition Metals'' Rod Bates {{ISBN|978-1-84127-107-1}}</ref>--><ref>''New Trends in Cross-Coupling: Theory and Applications'' Thomas Colacot (Editor) 2014 {{ISBN|978-1-84973-896-5}}</ref><ref name=Pharma>{{cite book|author=King, A.

==Mechanism== Many mechanisms exist reflecting the myriad types of cross-couplings, including those that do not require metal catalysts.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/cr400274j|title=Transition-Metal-Free Coupling Reactions |year=2014 |last1=Sun |first1=Chang-Liang |last2=Shi |first2=Zhang-Jie |journal=Chemical Reviews |volume=114 |issue=18 |pages=9219–9280 |pmid=25184859 }}</ref> Often, however, cross-coupling refers to a metal-catalyzed reaction of a nucleophilic partner with an electrophilic partner. [[Image:Katalysezyklus-Kumada-Kupplung.png|class=skin-invert-image|380px|center|thumb|Mechanism proposed for Kumada coupling (L = Ligand, Ar = Aryl).]] In such cases, the mechanism generally involves reductive elimination of R-R' from L<sub>n</sub>MR(R') (L = spectator ligand). This intermediate L<sub>n</sub>MR(R') is formed in a two-step process from a low valence precursor L<sub>n</sub>M. The oxidative addition of an organic halide (RX) to L<sub>n</sub>M gives L<sub>n</sub>MR(X). Subsequently, the second partner undergoes transmetallation with a source of R'<sup>−</sup>. The final step is reductive elimination of the two coupling fragments to regenerate the catalyst and give the organic product. Unsaturated substrates, such as C(sp)−X and C(sp<sup>2</sup>)−X bonds, couple more easily, in part because they add readily to the catalyst.

===Catalysts=== [[File:Sonogashira coupling mechanism.png|class=skin-invert-image|thumb|320 px|center|Mechanism proposed for the Sonogashira coupling.]]

Catalysts are often based on palladium, which is frequently selected due to high functional group tolerance. Organopalladium compounds are generally stable towards water and air. Palladium catalysts can be problematic for the pharmaceutical industry, which faces extensive regulation regarding heavy metals. Many pharmaceutical chemists attempt to use coupling reactions early in production to minimize metal traces in the product.<ref>{{cite journal |url=https://pubs.acs.org/cen/coverstory/83/8336chiral3.html |title=Removing Impurities |last=Thayer |first=Ann |date=2005-09-05 |journal=Chemical & Engineering News |access-date=2015-12-11 }}</ref> Heterogeneous catalysts based on Pd are also well-developed.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Yin, L.|author2=Liebscher, J.|s2cid=36974481|title=Carbon−Carbon Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Heterogeneous Palladium Catalysts|journal=Chemical Reviews|year=2007|volume=107|issue=1|pages=133–173|doi=10.1021/cr0505674|pmid=17212474}}</ref>
