Using catalysts in carbon-carbon coupling offers several advantages:
Increased Reaction Rate: Catalysts allow reactions to proceed much faster than they would in their absence. Improved Selectivity: Catalysts can help steer the reaction towards the desired product, reducing the formation of undesired by-products. Reduced Energy Consumption: Lower activation energy means the reaction can proceed at lower temperatures and pressures, saving energy. Scalability: Catalytic reactions are often more easily scaled up for industrial applications.
