In this review, the recent development in transition metal catalyzed cross coupling of nitroarenes was highlighted. Firstly, development of transition metal catalyzed cross coupling was simply introduced. After presenting the advantages of nitroarenes, transition metal catalyzed cross coupling using nitroarenes as electrophilic coupling partners was classified and introduced in detail. Based on different chemical bonds such as C–O, C–S, C–C and C–N bonds constructed, different kinds cross coupling of nitroarenes would be highlighted and the plausible reaction mechanism would be presented if available.
- Transition metal,
- Catalysis,
- Nitroarenes,
- Cross coupling,
- Chemical bonds
