Abstract
A single catalyst, derived from Pd(dba)2 and NiXantPhos, efficiently catalyzes a debenzylative synthesis of diaryl sulfides from aryl benzyl sulfides and aryl bromides in good to excellent yields via α-arylation of sulfides, C-S bond cleavage, and C-S bond formation in a tricatalytic cycle.
