Traditional thermal Suzuki approaches are hampered by competition between Suzuki, Heck and homo-coupling reactions. Microwave-assisted approaches facilitated rapid access to the desired Suzuki products whilst suppressing both Heck and homo-couplings of 4-vinylboronic acid. 2011-07-04T06:20:20.016Z ]]>
