Negishi-type arylation of trialkylsulfonium salts with arylzinc reagents has been accomplished under nickel catalysis. The use of cyclohexanethiol as an additional ligand was found to be particularly important to promote C-S cleavage. The present reaction accommodates one-pot arylation of dialkyl sulfides by combining with S -methylation with MeOTf. Mechanistic experiments suggest that C-S cleavage would proceed via single-electron transfer (SET) to generate the most stable carbon-centered radical and that the thiolate ligand would promote the C-S cleavage and radical recombination step.

An efficient and operationally simple method for the reduction of sulfoxides to sulfides has been developed using bis(catecholato)diboron (B2cat2) as a reducing agent. The present method accommodates various functional groups which are generally prone to reduction: halides, alkynes, carbonyls, nitriles, and heterocycles are totally intact, and only sulfoxide moieties undergo reduction chemoselectively. Moreover, the remaining diboron and the resulting boron-containing wastes are readily removable, the practicality of this protocol being thus demonstrated.
A Manganese N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyst for Reduction of Sulfoxides with Silanes

The first reduction of sulfoxides catalysed by a well-defined manganese complex is described. A variety of sulfoxides are reduced to the corresponding sulfides in high yields using phenylsilane, diphenylsilane, and the economically feasible 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) as reducing agents in the presence of a Mn-NHC complex. The reaction is performed under air and without the need of any additive. The involvement of radicals in the catalytic reaction is probed by spin-trap experiments.
