This report describes the development of a nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative reaction for the synthesis of fluoroalkyl thioethers (R<sub>F</sub>SR) from the corresponding thioesters. Readily available, inexpensive, and stable fluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (R<sub>F</sub>CO<sub>2</sub>H) serve as the fluoroalkyl (R<sub>F</sub>) source in this transformation. Stoichiometric organometallic studies reveal that R<sub>F</sub>-S bond-forming reductive elimination is a challenging step in the catalytic cyc ...[more]
