Abstract

Stoichiometric copper(I) iodide, in the presence of potassium carbonate and ethylene glycol, promotes the coupling of even highly sterically encumbered 2,6-disubstituted thiophenols and aryl iodides to form hindered diarylsulfides. Hindered diarylsulfones may be made in a complementary fashion by ortholithiation of the sulfone oxidation products of less hindered diarylsulfides.
