A highly efficient method for the synthesis of S -aryl dithiocarbamates is reported. By using tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (TMTM) and aryl boronic acids as starting materials, C(sp2)–S bond-forming reactions proceed smoothly to give the desired aryl dithiocarbamates in good to excellent yields. The methodology features a simple procedure, broad functional group tolerance and excellent yields, whilst showing potential synthetic value for the preparation of a diverse range of biologically and pharmaceutically active compounds.

An efficient C–S/S–S formation for the chemoselective synthesis of aryl dithiocarbamate (C–S formation) and aryl dialkylcarbamo(dithioperoxo)thioate (S–S formation) was studied. The chemoselectivity could be controlled by modulating the reaction temperature, base, and catalyst. The transformation features a simple reaction, easily available starting materials, high selectivity and easy performance, showing its practical synthetic value for the preparation of some potential biologically or pharmaceutically active compounds.
