Yunyun Liu and Jie-Ping Wan from Jiangxi Normal University in China review recent research progress in heterocycle syntheses using tandem reactions initiated by copper-catalysed coupling transformations.
Areas they include are:
- Reactions initiated by C–N coupling
- Reactions initiated by C–O coupling
- Reactions initiated by C–S coupling
- Reactions involving a double C–X coupling process
Our sister journal Chemical Society Reviews has just published a themed issue on cross-coupling reactions – why not take a look?
