Abstract
[Rh(cod)Cl]2 catalyzes a decarbonylative synthesis of valuable thioethers from thioesters in the absence of phosphine ligands, inorganic bases, and other additives. This thioetherification offers excellent group tolerance to aryl chlorides and bromides, gram scale synthesis, and late-stage pharmaceutical derivatization.
