title: Transition-metal-free acid-mediated synthesis of aryl sulfides from thiols and thioethers.
abstract: The preparation of diaryl and alkyl aryl sulfides via acid-mediated coupling of thiols and thioethers with diaryliodonium salts is reported. The scope, limitations, and mechanism of the transformation are discussed.
