Introduction
The Suzuki reaction is the organic reaction that is classified as a coupling reaction where the coupling partners are a boronic acid with a halide catalyzed by a palladium(0) complex.
It was first published in 1979 by Akira Suzuki and he shared the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Richard F. Heck and Ei-ichi Negishi for their effort for discovery and development of palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic synthesis. The general scheme for the Suzuki reaction is a carbon-carbon single bond by coupling a organoboron species (R1-BY2) with a halide (R2-X) using a palladium catalyst and a base
