Abstract:
The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction has emerged as one of the most powerful methods for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds. Though most widely utilized for the synthesis of sp2-sp2 linkages, the use of this reaction to form stereochemistry-bearing sp2-sp3 bonds has received widespread attention over the past decade. This Perspective highlights approaches to the synthesis of enantioenriched molecules via the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Particular focus is placed on the use of enantiomerically enriched organoboron compounds as coupling partners in stereospecific processes, as well as the development of enantioconvergent and group-selective reactions. In addition, progress in the development of chemoselective, iterative cross-coupling methods will be discussed.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...

In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...
