“…Because of the great importance of organosulfur compounds for pharmaceutical chemistry, agrochemistry, and materials science, the development of novel methods for arylation of a variety of S-nucleophiles with iodine(III) reagents has been attracting a great deal of attention in recent years. As a result, methods for the preparation of aryl sulfides, S -aryl thioimidates, S -aryl dithiocarbamates, sulfoxides, and sulfones have been developed. However, there have not been any reports on the synthesis of aryl thiols employing diaryliodonium salts.…”
