Abstract
A facile decarboxylative thioesterification of alkyl acid derived redox-active esters by merging photoredox catalysis and copper catalysis is applicable to a wide range of carboxylic acids. Moreover, product utilization is demonstrated with a direct transformation of thioesters to sulfonyl fluorides.
