known synthetic methods often suffer from the disadvantage of being specific only to certain substrates. Herein, we describe a facile decarboxylative thioesterification of alkyl acid derived redox-active esters by merging photoredox catalysis and copper catalysis. This reaction is applicable to a wide range of carboxylic acids, as well as natural products and drugs, allowing for the synthesis of various

生物系统至关重要,也广泛用于合成重要的药物分子和高分子材料。然而,已知的合成方法经常具有仅对某些底物特异的缺点。在本文中,我们描述了通过合并光氧化还原催化和
铜催化而对烷基酸衍生的氧化还原活性酯进行的容易的脱羧
硫酯化。该反应适用于各种
羧酸,以及
天然产物和药物,从而可以合成具有不同结构的各种
硫酯,包括叔卤化物,这些卤化物不能通过传统的亲核取代从叔卤化物中获得。此外,通过将
硫酯直接转化为磺酰
氟证明了产品的利用。
