In the present study, an efficient Cu-catalyzed transthiolation of alkyl iodides is developed. Notably, in the presence of CO, thioesters could also be obtained with copper and cobalt as the co-catalyst. This transformation displayed good functional group tolerance and afforded thioesters or sulfides from the corresponding alkyl iodides.
