title: A general, efficient, and inexpensive catalyst system for the coupling of aryl iodides and thiols.
abstract: An efficient copper-catalyzed carbon-sulfur bond formation reaction was developed. This method is particularly noteworthy given its experimental simplicity, high generality, and exceptional level of functional group toleration and the low cost of the catalyst system. [reaction: see text]
