Palladium is usually the preferred metal extensive mechanistic studies are summarized in several reviews based on seminal work of many as it tolerates a wide variety of functional groups and it has a remarkable ability to assemble C‐C researchers and reviewers as described in following sections. Palladium is usually the preferred metal bonds between appropriately functionalized substrates. Most palladium based methodologies as it toleratesproceed with a wide stereo variety‐ and of regioselectivity functional groups and andwith it excellent has a remarkable yields. Generally, ability to the assemble less crowded C-C bonds between appropriately functionalized substrates.
