title: Three-component coupling reaction triggered by insertion of arynes into the S═O bond of DMSO.
abstract: An unprecedented three-component coupling reaction of arynes, α-bromo carbonyl compounds, and DMSO triggered by insertion of arynes into the S═O bond of DMSO has been developed. The reaction can generate a wide range of multisubstituted aryl methyl thioethers in good yields, wherein DMSO serves as both methylthiolation reagent and oxygen source.
