Abstract
An operationally simple mechanochemical C-S coupling of aryl halides with thiols operates under benchtop conditions without the requirement for a (dry) solvent, an inert atmosphere, or catalyst preactivation. The reaction is finished within 3 h. The inclusion of zinc metal has been found to be critical for the coupling of alkyl thiols.
