Abstract

Abstract An efficient protocol for copper-catalyzed C–S or C–Se bond formation between aryl iodides and easily available chalcogen sources leading to diaryl chalcogenides is reported. A variety of symmetrical diaryl sulfides and diaryl selenides were synthesized in good to excellent yields. Unsymmetrical diaryl sulfides were also obtained in moderate yields from two different aryl iodides by a one-pot tandem process. This strategy was ...
