Heteroaryl thioethers, comprised of pyridines and diazines, are an important class of compounds with relevance to medicinal chemistry. Metal-catalyzed cross-couplings and S<sub>N</sub>Ar are traditionally used to form C-S bonds in these systems but are limited by available halogenated precursors. An alternative approach is presented where pyridines and diazines are transformed into heterocyclic phosphonium salts and then C-S bonds are formed by adding thiolate nucleophiles. The process is 4-sele ...[more]
