Abstract
Despite amazing advances in cross-coupling technologies over the past several decades, there is not a consistent definition of what a cross-coupling reaction is. Often, definitions rely on comparison to “traditional” palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings pioneered in the 1970s by chemists such as Suzuki, Negishi, and Heck. While these reactions provide a basis for a cross-coupling definition, they do not define this type of transformation, originally described by Linstead almost 20 years prior. Rather than modify and compartmentalize modern transformations to categorize them into either a synthetic or mechanistic definition, we make an argument for broadening the cross-coupling definition to the union of two distinct molecular entities in a covalent-bond-forming process, to encourage discussion around exploring novel reactivity and disconnections. In addition to making a case for a universal cross-coupling definition, we cite specific examples of reactions that break the mold of prior cross-coupling definitions. We believe this perspective will stimulate dialog around what it means to be a cross-coupling and in turn inspire future developments within this field.
