The document discusses various types of coupling reactions including Hiyama coupling, Kumada coupling, and Heck coupling. Hiyama coupling involves the palladium-catalyzed formation of a carbon-carbon bond between an organohalide and an organosilane. Kumada coupling is the nickel or palladium-catalyzed reaction between an organohalide and an organomagnesium reagent. Heck coupling involves the palladium-catalyzed substitution of a vinyl group for a vinylic hydrogen on an alkene. These reactions proceed through catalytic cycles involving oxidative addition, transmetallation, cis-trans isomerization, and reductive elimination.
