Palladium- and Nickel-Catalyzed Decarbonylative C-S Coupling to Convert Thioesters to Thioethers

Org Lett. 2018 Jan 5;20(1):44-47. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.7b03305. Epub 2017 Dec 7.

Abstract

This Letter describes the development of a catalytic decarbonylative C-S coupling reaction that transforms thioesters into thioethers. Both Pd- and Ni-based catalysts are developed and applied to the construction of diaryl, aryl alkyl, and heterocycle-containing thioethers.
