Photocatalyst-Free Decarboxylative Cross-Coupling of α-Keto Acids with Aryl Sulfinates for the Synthesis of S-Aryl Thioesters
Chem. Commun., 2025, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5CC05050B, Communication
Harshita Gupta, JAYA TRIPATHI, Anuj Sharma We report a novel visible-light-induced, photocatalyst-free method for thioester synthesis from α-keto acids and sodium aryl sulfinates. Singlet oxygen mediates SET to form acyl radicals, while aryl sulfinates generate aryl...
