Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of organo­halides, ethers, sulfides, amines, and alcohols (and derivatives thereof) with Grignard reagents, known as the Kumada–Tamao–Corriu reaction, can be used to prepare important intermediates in the synthesis of numerous­ biologically active compounds. The most frequently used transition metals are nickel, palladium, and iron, but there are several examples for cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by copper, cobalt, manganese, chromium, etc. salts and complexes. The aim of this review is to summarize the most important transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions realized in the period 2000 to 2020.
