The Palladium-catalyzed Coupling Of Organozinc Compounds With Thioesters To Form Ketones. This Reaction Tolerates A Variety Of Functional Groups Due To The Low Reactivity Of The Organozinc Reagents.
Oxidative Addition Of The Thioester Is Followed By Transmetalation From The Zinc Compound. Reductive Elimination Leads To The Coupled Product.
