Method for producing aryl thiol ester compound

Abstract

The present invention provides a production method capable of synthesizing an aryl thiol ester compound under mild conditions rapidly at a high yield. The present invention provides a method for producing an aryl thiol ester compound including producing an aryl thiol ester compound represented by the following general formula (1) from a diazonium compound represented by the following general formula (2) and a thioate compound represented by the following general formula (3) by a Sandmeyer-type coupling reaction using a catalyst, [wherein A1 and A2 are each independently an optionally substituted aryl group or an optionally substituted heteroaryl group; X1 is a monovalent anion; and M1 is a monovalent cation].
