Abstract
Herein, we present a Ni-catalyzed direct cross-coupling of heteroaromatic thioethers with aryl iodides via selective C(sp2)-S bond cleavage under reductive conditions, thereby providing various biaryl frameworks with high efficiency. Mechanistic studies suggested Mo(CO)6 played a crucial role in facilitating the activation of the C(sp2)-S bond. This protocol demonstrated a wide substrate scope, operational simplicity, and good functional group compatibility. Furthermore, the utility of this reaction was highlighted by facile scale-up and sequential modification of heteroaryl frameworks.
