Nickel‐Catalyzed Thioesterification Enabled by a Visible‐Light Organophotoredox Catalyst under Mild Conditions

摘要

Abstract A nickel‐catalyzed thioesterification of aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl iodides to afford thioesters is reported. The reaction involves a single‐electron transfer (SET) process induced by an organophotoredox catalyst under irradiation with blue LEDs at room temperature. This newly developed protocol provides a simple, mild method to access different thioesters with broad functional group exhibits excellent performance in aqueous solution and on a gram scale.
