title: The B-Alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction: Development, Mechanistic Study, and Applications in Natural Product Synthesis A list of abbreviations can be found at the end of the article.
abstract: The development of new reactions that facilitate the creative and efficient synthesis of molecular structures with desirable properties continues to fascinate chemists. The test of a significant contribution is its acceptance over time by the scientific community. The B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction appears to be one such reaction. Since its disclosure by Suzuki and Miyaura in 1986, this reaction has been an attractive solution to challenging synthetic problems.
