Abstract
A novel method has been established for the construction of C-S bonds using redox-active esters with disulfides in the presence of Ru-photoredox catalyst. This method exhibits remarkable functional group tolerance across a wide scope of substrates. Under mild conditions, a structurally diverse array of aryl alkyl sulfides is successfully and efficiently obtained through decarboxylative cross-coupling.
