• ) (Scheme 1). In analogy with the C–S coupling, a residence time of 3 hours was chosen for a test experiment, resulting in 81% conversion and 61% NMR yield. In this case a significant acceleration compared to the original batch reaction time (24 h) was observed, likely thanks to the use of the same reaction

• concentration as in the original batch report [28]. This was unlike the C–S coupling, where the limited solubility of the sulfinate salt required a dilution of the reaction conditions to obtain a homogenous reaction mixture. As previously observed [28], the reaction concentration has a significant impact on the

• efficiency of the nickel cycle in metallaphotoredox reactions. It is therefore not surprising that a larger acceleration of the reaction kinetics in flow versus batch was observed for the C–O coupling as opposed to the C–S coupling. Conclusion In summary, we developed a packed-bed reactor for

Here 1.5 equivalents of thiourea acted as the sulfur source. Bis(indol-3-yl)sulfides are also present as structural motifs in important organic

As a continuous study on C–S coupling reactions using aliphatic dithiols, herein we reported a simple and effective method for converting benzothiazoles and

Presently, the most popular approaches in constructing a C(sp2)–S bond are the transition-metal-catalyzed Ullmann C–S coupling reaction [4][5][6][7][8], Chan–Lam cross-coupling reaction [9][10][11][12] as well as the transition-metal-catalyzed C–H bond activation [13][14][15].

• ], and bismuth [13] have been used with specific electron-rich ligands in the C–S coupling reactions. However, these are less common compared to other C–X (X = C, O, N, P) coupling reactions, presumably because sulfur might suppress the catalytic function through its coordinating and adsorptive

Thus, the average size of Ni NPs supported with electron-rich RGO surface seems to be important to obtain maximum catalytic efficiency in the C–S coupling reaction. The catalytic reaction was found to be scalable

In the case of iodobromoarenes or iodochloroarenes, we obtained only iodo-coupled products 3j and 3k in excellent yields (Table 2, entries 10 and 11). Bromoarenes remain unchanged under
