Herein, we present a safe and practical methodology for synthesizing symmetrical sulfides using iodoarenes and potassium metabisulfite (K2S2O5). While K2S2O5 is known as a convenient sulfur dioxide surrogate, here it acts as a divalent sulfur source, pioneering its potential utility. The reaction exhibits wide substrate generality in which even highly bulky substrates can be applied to afford sterically congested sulfides.
