Abstract

A nickel-catalyzed C-S reductive cross-coupling of alkyl halides with arylthiosilanes provides alkyl aryl thioethers. This reaction offers exquisite chemoselectivity, excellent tolerance of diverse functional groups, and wide applications for late-stage modification of biologically relevant molecules.
