Reactions in which two hydrocarbon fragments are coupled in the presence of a catalyst are called coupled reactions.

The catalysts used are metals like palladium, cobalt, and other metal or metal complexes.

The reaction is mainly used to form new C-C sigma bonds.

Suzuki reaction is a coupling reaction that involves an organoborane catalyst that reacts in the presence of a metal catalyst. It forms an adduct that couples with another halide to form the product.

Suzuki reactions are mainly used to couple sp² hybridized carbon atoms or unsaturated compounds.

It is used to synthesis bi aryl motifs used in drug delivery.

2-bromo styrene reacts with sodium nitrile to form phenylethyne, which reacts with an organoborane catalyst to form an adduct. This adduct reacts with another 2-bromostyrene molecule in the presence of metal to form the final product A.
