“…475 These multicomponent one-pot reactions with HPAs are attractive because of the time, energy, and raw material savings due to the absent isolation of intermediates. The formation of C−S bonds happens in the synthesis of symmetrical diaryl sulfoxides from arenes and thionyl chloride (Table 15, entry 8) 476 and the synthesis of sulfides from aryl halides and thiols (Table 15, entry 9) in the presence of H 3 PW 12 . 477 Both catalytic protocols are highlighted by short reaction times, high yields, ambient conditions, and simple workup.…”
