The Suzuki–Miyaura reaction is one of the most powerful tools for the formation of carbon–carbon bonds in organic synthesis. The utilization of alcohols in this powerful reaction is a challenging task. This short review covers progress in the transition-metal-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura-type cross-coupling reaction of π-activated alcohol, such as aryl, benzylic, allylic, propargylic and allenic alcohols, between 2000 and June 2019.1 Introduction2 Suzuki–Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions of Aryl Alcohols2.1 One-Pot Reactions with Pre-activation of the C–O Bond2.1.1 Palladium Catalysis2.1.2 Nickel Catalysis2.2 Direct Activation of the C–O Bond2.2.1 Nickel Catalysis3 Suzuki–Miyaura-Type Cross-Coupling Reactions of Benzylic Alcohols4 Suzuki–Miyaura-Type Cross-Coupling Reactions of Allylic Alcohols4.1 Rhodium Catalysis4.2 Palladium Catalysis4.3 Nickel Catalysis4.4 Stereospecific Reactions4.5 Stereoselective Reactions4.6 Domino Reactions5 Suzuki–Miyaura-Type Cross-Coupling Reactions of Propargylic Alcohols5.1 Palladium Catalysis5.2 Rhodium Catalysis6 Suzuki–Miyaura-Type Cross-Coupling Reactions of Allenic Alcohols6.1 Palladium Catalysis6.2 Rhodium Catalysis7 Conclusions
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
