Abstract
A mild, scalable iodine-mediated oxidative cross-coupling reaction of arylhydrazines and thiols enables the construction of thioethers (sulfides) in the absence of any transition metals or photocatalysts. A variety of unsymmetrical diaryl sulfides with broad substrate scope both on thiols and hydrazines were synthesized in high yields in water at room temperature.
