Abstract

Abstract In this article, we have developed a new protocol for the thioarylation of structurally diverse alkyl bromides such as benzyl, cinnamyl, n-octyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, and tert- butyl bromides with aryl iodides, bromides and an activated chloride using thiourea catalyzed by copper (I) iodide in wet polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) as an eco-friendly medium in the presence of potassium carbonate at 80 and 100 C under an inert ...
