Iron-catalyzed selective hydrodeoxygenation and hydrodesulfurization of (thio)esters by hydrosilylation under blue light activation for access to (thio)ethers

Chem. Commun., 2026, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5CC06110E, Communication Qingxin Zhang, Victorien Massé, Christophe Darcel The catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of S-alkyl thioesters and esters and the desulfurisation of O-alkyl thioate derivatives using hydrosilane leading to (thio)ethers is described using iron catalysts. A wide range of thioesters...
