A Lewis base/Bronsted acid catalyzed aromatic sulfenylation is reported. These studies demonstrated that the incorporation of electron-rich sulfenyl groups proceeded in the absence of a Lewis base, with kinetic studies indicating an autocatalytic mechanism. The incorporation of electron-poor sulfenyl groups demonstrated little autocatalysis necessitating the use of a Lewis base. This method proved amenable to diverse arenes and heterocycles and was effective in the context of the late-stage functionalization of biologically active small molecules.

A highly efficient and ligand-free copper(I) sulfide catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of aryl iodides with diaryl disulfides was developed. With only 1 mol-% of Cu2S as the catalyst, iron powder as the reductant, and K2CO3 as the base, aryl iodides reacted with disulfides in DMSO at 90-110 °C for 18-24 h under an atmosphere of argon to give the corresponding aryl sulfides in good to excellent yields. In addition, the catalyst is recyclable and reusable with some loss of activity.
