Abstract
An eco-friendly coupling of diaryl disulfides and aryl iodides under ligand-free conditions with copper nanopowder as catalyst and PEG-400 as solvent enables the synthesis of varous unsymmetrical diaryl in very good yields. The process is odour-free and the copper nanopowder-PEG-400 catalytic system can be directly reused for four repetitive cycles.
