Received: 12 December 2019; Accepted: 14 January 2020; Published: 20 April 2020 Abstract: Sonogashira coupling involves coupling of vinyl/aryl halides with terminal acetylenes catalyzed by transition metals, especially palladium and copper. This is a well known reaction in organic synthesis and plays a role in sp2-sp C-C bond formations. This cross coupling was used in synthesis of natural products, biologically active molecules, heterocycles, dendrimers, conjugated polymers and organic complexes. This review paper focuses on developments in the palladium and copper catalyzed Sonogashira cross coupling achieved in recent years concerning substrates, different catalyst systems and reaction conditions. Keywords: cross coupling; copper; palladium; transition; Sonogashira 1. Introduction The transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have played an important role in the field of organic synthesis [1,2]. Among them, the palladium catalyzed sp2-sp couplings between aryl or alkenyl halides or triflates and terminal alkynes in presence or absence of Copper (I) cocatalyst has become the most important method to prepare aryl-alkynes and conjugated enynes (Figure1), which are precursors for pharmaceuticals, natural products and organic materials and this type of coupling commonly known as Sonogashira coupling [3–5]. This reaction was named after the scientists Sonogashira, Tohda, and Hagihara in 1975.
