Which of the following is not a step in the Suzuki reaction?
A)Oxidative addition of R-X to the palladium catalyst
B)Substitution of the R group to the palladium catalyst
C)Transfer of the alkyl group from the organoborane to palladium
D)Reductive elimination of R-R,forming the new C-C bond

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Suzuki reaction involves the cross-coupling of an organoboron compound with a halide using a palladium catalyst. The steps include oxidative addition, transmetalation (where the alkyl group is transferred from the organoborane to palladium, not substitution), and reductive elimination. Substitution of the R group to the palladium catalyst is not a recognized step in this process.
