We herein report an unprecedented xanthate-based protocol for the preparation of aryl-alkyl thioethers. Heating xanthates with aryl halides and namely cesium carbonate in methanol provides the target thioethers in generally good yields within short reaction times. This method allows one to avoid contact with odorous thiols and also to introduce substituents of which the corresponding thiols are virtually unavailable or inconvenient in use.
