Abstract

Abstract CuI efficiently catalyzes the C–S cross coupling of thiols with aryl halides in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide in water. The reactions with aryl thiols that have electron-withdrawing and-donating substituents are comparable and afford C–S cross- coupling products in high yield.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
