Abstract
In an efficient Cu-catalyzed one-pot approach for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl thioethers through a Cu-catalyzed double arylation, the aryl thiols are generated in situ from an easily available xanthate and aryl halides. This strategy was further successfully utilized for the synthesis of symmetrical diaryl thioethers, aryl alkyl thioethers, and benzothiazoles.
