Figure 1. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling.

Figure 1

(a) Examples of drugs and late-stage drug candidates where Suzuki-Miyaura coupling is used to form key carbon–carbon bonds (shown in blue) with heterocyclic coupling partners. (b) The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction is strategically powerful in drug synthesis and design due to its robustness and tolerance of heterocycles. (c) This work: asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to form Csp3–Csp2 bonds using heterocycles where X, Y or Z≠CH.
