The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction is a type of cross-coupling reaction used in organic chemistry to form carbon-carbon bonds. Named after its discoverers, Akira Suzuki and Norio Miyaura, this reaction involves the coupling of an organoboron compound with an organic halide or triflate, in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a base. It is widely employed in the synthesis of biaryl compounds, which are important in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science.
