title: Synthesis of aryl sulfides by decarboxylative C-S cross-couplings.
abstract: Without the need for organohalide precursors, the convenient and general synthesis of aryl (or diaryl) sulfides can be achieved by using aryl carboxylic acids and thiols or disulfides for decarboxylative C-S cross-coupling catalyzed by a bimetallic system (see scheme).
