Back Cover: CuI/Oxalic Diamide-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Thiols with Aryl Bromides and Chlorides (Chem. Eur. J. 42/2017).

A practical synthetic method for the synthesis of diversified thioethers using oxalic diamides as highly air ‐ stable ligands through copper catalysis is demonstrated. A variety of aryl and alkyl thiols were successfully coupled with aryl bromides and aryl chlorides to afford the corresponding thioethers in good yields. This work is the first copper ‐ catalyzed thioetherification of unactivated aryl chlorides. More information can be found in the Full Paper by C. ‐ F. Lee et al. on page 10087. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
