Copper-Catalyzed Selective Single Arylsulfanylation of Aryl Diiodides with Aryl Thiols

Abstract

Selective single arylsulfanylation reactions of aryl diiodides with aryl or hetaryl thiols to give a broad array of iodine-functionalized sulfides were developed. Further elaboration of the iodine-containing products to provide a variety of aryl and hetaryl sulfides through coupling reactions was also demonstrated.

Key words

copper - cross-coupling - iodides - sulfides - catalysis
