Abstract

Nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative thioetherification of acyl fluorides has been developed. This transformation allows an array of acyl fluorides to react with thiophenols. A wide range of functional groups are well tolerated and the corresponding sulfides can be obtained in good to excellent yields. This protocol provides the formation of diverse carbon–sulfur bonds via a highly efficient decarbonylative process.
