A nickel-catalyzed aryl thioether metathesis has been developed to access high-value thioethers. 1,2-Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcype) is essential to promote this highly functional-group-tolerant reaction. Furthermore, synthetically challenging macrocycles could be obtained in good yield in an unusual example of ring-closingmetathesis that does not involve alkene bonds. In-depth organometallic
deaminative thiolation reaction of 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amines and benzo[d]oxazol-2-amines has been developed at room temperature conditions in a one-pot protocol. This practical three-component strategy represents a novel and environmentally friendly reaction pathway toward the straightforward synthesis of various 2-thio-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles and 2-thiobenzo[d]oxazolesusing carbon disulfide as a
