Research Progress on Cross-Coupling with Aryl Diazonium Salts

Aryl diazonium salts have been widely used in cross-coupling reaction due to its easily available and highly reactivity as arylation reagents, which have drawn more and more attention by chemists in organic synthesis in recent years.The research progress since 2006 on cross-coupling with aryl diazonium salts combined with our work is reviewed, focusing on new applications and new progress of aryl diazonium salts in new method to build carbon-carbon bond, with construction of the natural product skeleton, in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and other aspects of green synthesis.
