We have developed an efficient palladium-catalyzed carbon-sulfur bond formation reaction of aryl bromides, triflates, and activated aryl chloride. Using this protocol, we have shown tolerance to a wide variety of aryl thiols and alkyl thiols that can also be used as sulfide equivalents. [reaction: see text]
