Heterogeneously Ni–Pd nanoparticle-catalyzed base-free formal C–S bond metathesis of thiols†
Abstract
This study rationally designed a heterogeneously catalyzed system (i.e., using Ni–Pd alloy nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite (Ni–Pd/HAP) under an H2 atmosphere) achieving an efficient base-free formal C–S bond metathesis of various thiols via suppression of the Ni catalysis deactivation.
