Talk:Coupling reaction

I am interested in coupling reaction. Specialy, i need some information about coupling reaction of diazonium salts. I hope i can get some good information about that in this discussion page. Please help me ^_^   yarayara114_AT_yahoo.com

Mr yarayara, in support of actual laboratory research, you should consult the chemical literature, e.g., via SciFinder and Web of Science databses, and not leave messages at wikipedia. Translate the scheme Ar1-N2(+)   +   Ar2-N2(+)   -->   Ar1-Ar2    into the syntax required in each of these search tools, and limit the searches to reviews, and you will likely find tens of articles. Delimit from reviews to all research reports and you will likely find hundreds. (Prof D) Meduban (talk) 02:53, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

To this article's author: This "Coupling reaction" article is currently very out of date, and too limited in scope. If I were editing, I would pull 80% of it, until a better article more reflective of this very important area could be written. When this is done, try Web of Science, starting with K. C. Nicolaou, Paul Bulger, and David Sarlah's article on Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings. Much can be found going forward and backward from this seminal reference << article found temporarily at: www.chm.ulaval.ca/tollevier/CHM-22534/2005ACIEE4442.pdf   ; accessed 22 March 2011. >>. Also, oxidative biaryl couplings through C-H activation should not link here is there is nothing said here regarding these important synthetic and natural biosynthetic reactions.

 * Disagree. First of all, there is no article author in Wikipedia. Writing articles is a collaborative effort with many editors. The list presented in the article is in fact very complete with almost 20 reaction types. If we are missing some general coupling reaction types please let us know. It should be clear that it is impossible to discuss everything known about coupling reactions on a single page. So for more info on lets say the Heck reaction visit that page. Thanks for sharing the review. I should note that the article is utterly useless for this page. This page is about coupling reactions in general in its broadest scope. The review is about a subset called palladium coupling reactions (see Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions) but not even about Pd coupling reactions in general but only in the context of its uses in total synthesis. This is a typical problem of scientific publishing (hyperspecialized) vs wikipedia editing (topdown). I agree the article needs some general literature about coupling reactions in the most general scope, will try to work on that V8rik (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
