The copper-promoted S-cyclopropylation of thiophenols using cyclopropylboronic acid is reported. The procedure operates under simple conditions to afford the corresponding aryl cyclopropyl sulfides in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction tolerates substitution in <i>ortho-</i>, <i>meta-</i> and <i>para</i>-substitution as well as electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups. The S-cyclopropylation of a thiophenol was also accomplished using potassium cyclopropyl trifluoroborate. ...[more]
