coupling reaction
Molecular joining process
A coupling reaction is a chemical reaction that joins two molecular fragments, typically forming a new carbon-carbon bond.
These reactions are fundamental in organic synthesis, allowing chemists to build complex molecules from simpler components.
Many coupling reactions require metal catalysts—palladium-catalyzed couplings like Suzuki and Heck reactions are workhorses of pharmaceutical and materials chemistry.
