Abstract

The functionalization of CAr-SMe and Csp3-SMe bonds by direct exchange of the sulfur atom with an activated sp3-carbon has been developed. Reactions with LiCH2SiMe3 in the presence of a Nickel catalyst proceed with good yields and allow the conversion of aryl and benzyl methyl sulfides to trimethylsilylated products which are valuable precursors for the synthesis of olefins, various alcohols and amines, diols and aromatic carboxylic acids.
