A coupling reaction or oxidative coupling in organic chemistry is a catch-all for a range of reactions in Organometallic chemistry where two hydrocarbon radicals are coupled with the aid of a metal containing catalyst. Organic chemistry is a discipline within Chemistry which involves the scientific study of the structure properties composition reactions, and preparation Organometallic chemistry is the study of Chemical compounds containing bonds between Carbon and a Metal. In Organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an Organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon. In Chemistry, radicals (often referred to as free radicals) are atoms molecules or ions with Unpaired electrons on an otherwise Open shell Catalysis is the process in which the rate of a Chemical reaction is increased by means of a Chemical substance known as a catalyst
Coupling reactions should be divided into two main classes, there are the cross couplings in which two different molecules react to form one new molecule. For example the nickel chloride catalyzed reaction of an aryl magnesium halide with an aryl halide to form a biaryl.
An example of the other type of coupling (homocoupling) would be a Ullmann reaction, this is the reaction of copper metal with two molecules of an aryl halide to form a biaryl. The Ullmann reaction or Ullmann coupling is a Coupling reaction between Aryl Halides with Copper. Copper (ˈkɒpɚ is a Chemical element with the symbol Cu (cuprum and Atomic number 29 The Ullmann reaction often requires very high temperatures, and has partly been replaced in synthetic chemistry by palladium based reactions.
Many coupling reactions involve phenols. Phenol, is a toxic colourless Crystalline Solid with a sweet tarry odor commonly referred to as a "hospital smell" BINOL is the C-C coupling reaction product of 2-naphthol with copper(II) chloride and 2,6-xylenol dimerises as well with iodosobenzene diacetate. beta-Naphtholsvg|thumb|150px|β-Naphthol]] Naphthol, or hydroxynaphthalene or naphthalenol is either of two colorless crystalline solids with the formula C10H7OH Copper(II chloride is the Chemical compound with the formula CuCl2 Xylenol or dimethylphenol is an Arene compound with two Methyl groups and a Hydroxyl group
A common metal in this type of chemistry is palladium often added in the form of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0). Palladium (pronounced \pəˈleɪdiəm\ is a rare and lustrous silvery-white metal that was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, who named it palladium after the Tetrakis(triphenylphosphinepalladium(0 is the Chemical compound Pd4 often abbreviated Pd(PPh34 or even PdP4 This is an air sensitive compound which is very good for coupling unsaturated halogen compounds with organometallics such as tributyltin hydride.

While many coupling reactions involve reagents that are extremely susceptible to presence of water or oxygen, it is unreasonable to assume that all coupling reactions need to be performed with strict exclusion of water. It is possible to perform palladium based coupling reactions in aqueous solutions using the water soluble sulfonated phosphines made by the reaction of triphenyl phosphine with sulfuric acid. Triphenylphosphine (in Europe triphenylphosphane is a common Organophosphorus compound with the formula P(C6H53 - often abbreviated to Sulfuric (or sulphuric acid, H 2 S[[oxygen O]]4 is a strong Mineral acid. In general the oxygen in the air is more able to disrupt coupling reactions, this is because many of these reactions occur via unsaturated metal complexes which do not have 18 valence electrons. Oxygen (from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys (acid literally "sharp" from the taste of acids and -γενής (-genēs (producer literally begetteris the For example in nickel and palladium cross couplings a zerovalent complex with two vacant sites (or labile ligands) reacts with the carbon halogen bond to form a metal halogen and a metal carbon bond. Nickel (ˈnɪkəl is a metallic Chemical element with the symbol Ni and Atomic number 28 Palladium (pronounced \pəˈleɪdiəm\ is a rare and lustrous silvery-white metal that was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, who named it palladium after the Such a zerovalent complex with labile ligands or empty coordination sites is normally very reactive towards oxygen.

In one study an unusual coupling reaction was described in which an organomolybdenum compound, [Mo3(CCH3)2(OAc)6(H2O)3](CF3SO3)2 not only sat on a shelf for 30 years without any sign of degradation but also decomposed in water to generate 2-butyne which is the coupling adduct of its two ethylidyne ligands.

One method for palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions of aryl halides with fluorinated arenes, involves DMA. In Organic chemistry, a halogenoarene, haloarene, or aryl halide, is an organic compound in which a Halogen atom is bonded to a Carbon Dimethylacetamide is the Organic compound with the formula CH3C(ON(CH32 It is unusual in that it involves C-H functionalisation at an electron deficient arene. Carbon-hydrogen bond activation or CH activation may be defined as a reaction that cleaves a Carbon-hydrogen bond. Electron deficiency occurs when a compound has too few Valence electrons for the connections between atoms to be described as Covalent bonds Electron deficient bonds [2]
