An Efficient Protocol for the Carbon-Sulfur Cross-Coupling of Sulfenyl Chlorides with Arylboronic Acids using a Palladium Catalyst

An efficient protocol for carbon-sulfur bond formation is developed, which involves the cross-coupling of sulfenyl chlorides and arylboronic acids catalyzed by a novel palladium-Schiff base complex. Good to high product yields, short reaction times, and mild reaction conditions are important features of this new method.
