Copper-mediated methylthiolation of aryl halides with DMSO

Abstract

A copper-mediated methylthiolation of aryl halides with the widely available DMSO is described. The procedure tolerates a series of functional groups such as methoxy, nitro, chloro, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, formyl and methoxycarbonyl groups. Thus, it represents a simple and facile methylthiolation procedure.
