We describe a practical protocol for efficiently preparing diaryl sulfide compounds using Cu–OMS-2 as the catalyst. Cu–OMS-2 originates from manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves modified with copper ions and catalyzes the C–S coupling reaction of substituted thiophenols and aryl halides. This protocol has the advantages of environmental friendliness, simple operation, high yields, good tolerance of functional groups, and the Cu–OMS-2 catalytic material can be recycled several times.
