The Pd-catalysed cross-coupling of thiols with aromatic electrophiles is an effective strategy for the synthesis of aryl thioethers, which are crucial compounds for pharmaceutical and agricultural activities. Because metal or metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have a high surface-to-volume ratio, which results in unique quantum properties, and different shapes and sizes from the corresponding bulk materials, they frequently exhibit high catalytic activity among catalysts or heterogeneous supports. However, the development of a more secure, nontoxic, environmentally benign, and recyclable support is still needed for coupling reactions in heterogeneous conditions in order to prevent the agglomeration of the NPs or the reusability of metallic complexes. Magnetic supports are famous among researchers due to their chemical stability and high specific areas. The use of insoluble, inorganic bases in the majority of C-S coupling protocols makes it difficult to achieve miniaturization and continuous flow applications. First and foremost, the reaction conditions are incompatible with numerous functional groups and therapeutically. First and foremost, the reaction conditions are incompatible with numerous functional groups due to the requirement of high temperatures. The difficulty of substituting nucleophilicity at a sp2 carbon atom using standard organic methods is overcome by using complexes of transition metals. The reported C-C and C-S coupling method exhibits remarkable functional groups tolerance, and the reactions can be carried out in neat water at low ambient temperature. The reaction was carried out in the absence of solvent, an inert atmosphere, and bases.
