SUMMARY • Decarboxylative Coupling Reactions are powerful synthetic tools for constructing C-C or C-heteroatom bonds.
Starting materials are easy to make and handle
Lowered catalyst loadings make large scale synthesis practical
Wide functional group compatibility
The diversity of the methods allows for various bond-forming processes: sp3-sp3, sp2-sp3, sp-sp3, sp2-sp2, sp2-sp C-C bond formation & C-X bond formation
Lower the temperatures in some inter-molecular reactions will allow for broader reaction scopes.
Increase the activities of catalyst and thus to exploit less activated substrates.
• Further improvements are necessary.
