2.2.1. Mechanism of Suzuki Coupl<strong>in</strong>g Reactions<br />
The catalytic cycle of Suzuki <strong>reaction</strong> <strong>in</strong>volves three steps, oxidative addition of<br />
a halide, followed by transmetallation and then reductive elim<strong>in</strong>ation of the two carbon<br />
ligands added to the <strong>palladium</strong>.<br />
A general catalytic cycle for the Suzuki <strong>cross</strong>-coupl<strong>in</strong>g <strong>reaction</strong> is depicted <strong>in</strong><br />

2.2.1.1. Oxidative Addition<br />
In an oxidative addition step an electrophilic compound X-Y adds to a metal<br />
complex. In this step, the XY bond is broken and two bonds are formed; M-X and M-Y,<br />
and meanwhile, oxidation state of the metal is raised by two. The coord<strong>in</strong>ation number<br />
of the metal also <strong>in</strong>creases by two (Tsuji 1995).<br />
