Conventionally, the organic reactions are accomplished by conductive heating with an external heat source like an oil bath. On the contrary, since its inception, the application of microwave irradiation is growing as a suitable alternate heating method in organic synthesis. Microwave heating considerably reduces the reaction time without promoting any side reactions. The fundamental synthetic organic chemistry majorly deals with transition-metal-catalyzed C–C and C–heteroatom bond formation reactions. It is one of the most important methods in contemporary chemistry resulting in a tremendous increment in the applications of these reactions during the last few years. This field has been acknowledged with a number of Nobel Prizes during the last decade (2001, 2005 and 2010). A considerable effort has been done on the continuous development of new ligands and catalysts as well as an increased understanding of the mechanisms for the improvement of the reaction condition. This review focuses on some of the latest developments in the area of cross-coupling reactions aided by microwave irradiation.

Transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions are some of the most important subjects in synthetic chemistry as they are reliable tools for carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond formation. This Short Review focuses on recent advances in microwave-assisted coupling reactions using transition-metal nanoparticle catalysts.

Phosphines are widely used ligands in transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Arylphosphines, such as triphenylphosphine, were among the first phosphines to show broad utility in catalysis. Beginning in the late 1990s, sterically demanding and electronrich trialkylphosphines began to receive attention as supporting ligands. These ligands were found to be particularly effective at promoting oxidative addition in cross-coupling of aryl halides. With electron-rich, sterically demanding ligands, such as tri-tertbutylphosphine, coupling of aryl bromides could be achieved at room temperature. More importantly, the less reactive, but more broadly available, aryl chlorides became accessible substrates. Tri-tert-butylphosphine has become a privileged ligand that has found application in a wide range of late transition-metal catalyzed coupling reactions. This success has led to the use of numerous monodentate trialkylphosphines in cross-coupling reactions. This review will discuss the general properties and features of monodentate trialkylphosphines and their application in cross-coupling reactions of C–X and C–H bonds.
