Abstract

Thioethers can be efficiently prepared via palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of arene-or heteroarene thiols with arene-or heteroarene iodides. A simple, cheap and robust catalytic system is described that couples a broad range of electron-deficient as well as electron-rich substrates in high yield.
