Nickel‐Catalyzed Thiolation of Aryl Halides and Heteroaryl Halides via Electrochemistry

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed coupling reactions are useful tools to synthesize aryl sulfur compounds. However, conventional transition‐metal‐catalyzed thiolation of aryl bromides and chlorides typically requires the use of strong base under elevated reaction temperature. Herein, we report the first examples of nickel‐catalyzed electrochemical thiolation of aryl bromides and chlorides in the absence of an external base at room temperature using undivided electrochemical cells.
