Abstract

A combination of copper(II) oxide and 1,10-phenanthroline catalyzes a microwave-promoted C-S bond formation of thiols and aryl iodides. Various aryl iodides react smoothly with thiols to provide the corresponding aryl sulfides in very good yields in water with a short reaction time. Amino, chloro, bromo, acetyl, and nitro groups are tolerated.
