“…Over the last decade, copper has emerged as a viable catalyst for the arylation of thiols. [ 27 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 ] Palomo and co-workers demonstrated the ability of CuBr with phosphazene base to catalyze reaction between aryl iodides and thiols to afford biaryl sulfides Equation (12) [ 67 ]. Activated aryl bromides were also effective as coupling partners.…”
