“…( Boyd 2016 ; Lu et al, 2017 ; Zhang et al, 2018 ; Hou et al, 2022 ) Hence, the development of efficient methods for the construction of C-S bond has attracted considerable attentions from chemical researchers. Traditionally, transition metal-catalyzed cross coupling of aryl halides and thiol/thiophenol constitutes the mainstream route to aryl sulfides ( Figure 2A ) ( Fernández-Rodríguez et al, 2006 ; Alvaro and Hartwig, 2009 ; Timpa et al, 2014 ; Fu et al, 2015 ; Amiri et al, 2016a ; Guzmán-Percástegui et al, 2016 ; Shiri et al, 2016 ; Chen et al, 2019 ; Gupta 2022 ; Jones et al, 2018 ; Liu et al, 2019 ; Isshiki et al, 2021 ; Cheng-Yi Wang et al, 2021 ; Yu et al, 2021 ). However, several troublesome drawbacks still exist, including expensive catalysts and ligands, high temperature and narrow substrate scope.…”
