Abstract
Abstract A nickel‐catalyzed molybdenum‐promoted carbonylative synthesis of thioesters between aryl iodides and dialkyl disulfides has been developed. This method provides a novel and practical route to aryl thioesters under CO‐gas‐free conditions. Using Mo(CO) 6 as a solid CO source, many thioesters were obtained in moderate yields without expensive metals such as palladium.
