C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond coupling is of great significance in organic synthesis, among which reductive homocoupling has showed its special superiority in construction of symmetrical molecular structures. These reactions are usually operationally simple, which utilize organohalides as substrates, avoiding the handling of highly reactive organometallic reagents. The use of non-precise metals as the catalyst makes reductive homocouplings amenable for large-scale synthesis. Improved efficiency and selectivity have been observed in systems involving photoredox catalytic processes, ionic-liquids, and inorganic nanomaterials. This review aims to summarize the development of reductive couplings. In this review, various reductive homocouplings are summarized, where transition metals, such as cobalt, nickel, copper, titanium, and rhodium are involved. Photo-mediated reductive couplings are then highlighted followed by a discussion on applications of reductive couplings in natural products synthesis and polymer sciences.
