Abstract
A large proportion of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings employ dipolar aprotic solvents; however, current sustainability initiatives and increasingly stringent regulations advocate the use of alternatives that exhibit more desirable properties. The suitability of the bio-derived solvent Cyrene is evaluated as a reaction medium for this benchmark transformation from discovery to gram scale.
