In @Nature, we show that redox-active esters can be transformed into alkyl zinc species useful for transmetalation, providing a solution to rate matching in XEC reactions! First application: alkylation of alkenes via polar decarboxylative cross-coupling!

🚨Just out in @angew_chem: cross couplings fuel synthesis, but C–S bonds over #SACs were uncharted territory, until now. Here, the first SAC for C–S coupling: selective, recyclable & thiol-poisoning resistant.👏 @GazisTheo, @PalitShilpa & coauthors!
