Despite the fact that remarkable progress was achieved by palladium and nickel catalysis, the high price and toxicity still remained a drawback. Recently, naturally more abundant and less toxic low-valent chromium salts, such as Cr(II) and Cr(III) chlorides, displayed notable unique catalytic reactivity. Thus, recent progress in the field of chromium-catalyzed cross-couplings and related reactions are highlighted in the present short review until December­ 2018.1 Introduction and Early Chromium-Mediated Reactions2 Chromium-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings and Related Reactions3 Conclusion PB - © Georg Thieme Verlag DO - 10.1055/s-0037-1611756 UR - http://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/abstract/10.1055/s-0037-1611756 ER -
