In this report, the combination of masked inorganic sulfur and dimethyl carbonate was designed to achieve thiomethylated cross coupling of aryl chlorides. Remarkably, this powerful strategy realized thiomethylation of nucleosides bearing unprotected ribose, chloride-containing pharmaceuticals with late-stage coupling, and herbicides possessing multiple heteroatoms and steric hindrance. Moreover, this protocol is practically amenable to multigram-scale synthesis with a lower catalysis loading and a higher yield.
