The palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of organic halides with boronic acids is one of the most versatile methods for the synthesis of biaryls. Green chemistry is a rapidly developing new field that provides us a proactive avenue for the sustainable development of future science and technologies. When designed properly, clean chemical technology can be developed in water as a reaction medium. The technologies generated from such green chemistry endeavours may often be cheaper and more profitable. This review covers the literature on palladium-catalysed the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in water.
