Carbon-carbon bond construction using boronic acids and aryl methyl sulfides: orthogonal reactivity in Suzuki-type couplings

The Rh(i)-catalysed coupling of aryl and alkenyl boronic acids with simple aryl and alkenyl methyl sulfides is reported. The process employs bench-stable Rh(i) precatalysts incorporating small bite-angle chelating phosphine ligands (R2PCH2PR2, R = iPr, Cy), shows good functional group tolerance, and...
