Controlled Iterative Cross-Coupling: On the Way to the Automation of Organic Synthesis

Wang CY, Glorius F

Research article (journal)

Abstract

New strategies for the modulation of the reactivity of difunctional building blocks are discussed, allowing the palladium-catalyzed controlled iterative cross-coupling and, thus, the efficient formation of complex molecules of defined size and structure (see scheme). As in peptide synthesis, this development will enable the automation of these reactions. MPG=protected metal, Mact=metal.
