title: Carbon-carbon bonding made easy.
abstract: The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between organoboranes and organic electrophiles in the presence of base was first developed 30 years ago. It offers a powerful and general methodology for forming carbon-carbon bonds. The scope of the reaction has continued to evolve and broaden to meet modern synthetic requirements.
