2.7 Cobalt-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions

Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have been an essential strategy for the construction of C—C bonds, including in the syntheses of pharmaceuticals and natural products, since the pioneering work of Heck, Negishi, and Suzuki, among others. Of the widely applied catalysts based on group 8–10 metals, economical cobalt salts have been shown to be advantageous as an alternative to other commonly used expensive and/or toxic catalysts. In this review, cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of organometallic reagents, such as organomagnesium or organozinc derivatives, to achieve the formation of C—C bonds, are summarized. Furthermore, various methods for the cobalt-catalyzed reductive cross coupling of C—X/C—O electrophiles have also been reported for selective C—C bond formation, and these are also discussed.

Key words
