Abstract

O-methyl S-tolyl thiocarbonate is a versatile esterification reagent for palladium-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation of arylboronic acid in the presence of copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC). The reaction conditions are mild and tolerate various sensitive substituents including -Cl, -Br, and -NH2.
