Abstract
The development of new reactions that facilitate the creative and efficient synthesis of molecular structures with desirable properties continues to fascinate chemists. The test of a significant contribution is its acceptance over time by the scientific community. The B‐alkyl Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction appears to be one such reaction. Since its disclosure by Suzuki and Miyaura in 1986, this reaction has been an attractive solution to challenging synthetic problems.
