Why is it important?
Transition-metal-catalyzed reactions for the construction of alkyl−alkyl bonds are the most versatile types and have become prospects for the next revolution in organic synthesis. An sp3-hybridized carbon has a three-dimensional spread; due to this, the hydrophilicity of the compound is greatly enhanced. Therefore, C(sp3)−C(sp3) cross-coupling reactions have attracted interest in exploring the chemical space by introducing more asymmetric sp3-hybridized carbons into drug candidates.
Perspectives
The progress that has been made toward C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation (traditional and cross-electrophile couplings) is highlighted.
