Abstract

The direct formation of (hetero)biaryls from readily available (hetero)aryl halides under mild reaction conditions can be efficiently achieved through the Masuda borylation–Suzuki coupling (MBSC) sequence. The MBSC sequence catenates Pd-catalyzed Masuda borylation and Suzuki coupling into a one-pot process, giving access to diverse symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted scaffolds. (Hetero)biaryls are ubiquitous structural motifs that appear in natural products, pharmaceutically relevant scaffolds, functional dyes, and several other structures. This review summarizes the development of the MBSC sequence and its improvements over the past two decades.
