Xu, Tianhao published the artcileNickel-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Thioetherification of Carboxylic Acids with Thiols, Recommanded Product: 2-Methylbenzoic acid, the publication is Journal of Organic Chemistry (2022), 87(13), 8672-8684, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative thioetherification of carboxylic acids RC(O)OH (R = naphthalen-2-yl, 1-benzofuran-2-yl, 1-benzothiophen-2-yl, etc.) with thiols R1HS (R1 = 4-methylphenyl, naphthalen-2-yl, 2-methylfuran-3-yl, etc.) was developed. Under the reaction conditions, benzoic acids, cinnamic acids, and benzyl carboxylic acids coupled with various thiols including both aromatic and aliphatic ones produce the corresponding thioethers RSR1 in up to 99% yields. Moreover, this reaction was applicable to the modification of bioactive mols. such as 3-methylflavone-8-carboxylic acid, probenecid, and flufenamic acid, and the synthesis of acaricide chlorbenside. These results well demonstrated the potential synthetic value of this new reaction in organic synthesis.
