A novel ruthenium-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of carbonothioate is disclosed. This method provides straightforward access to the corresponding allyl(aryl)sulfide derivatives in generally good to excellent yields under mild conditions and features a broad substrate scope, wide group tolerance and in particular, no need to use halocarbon precursors.
