An aqueous catalytic method for double C−S bond formations that involves alcohol derivatives, organic halides, and sodium thiosulfate has been developed. A diverse range of functionalized sulfides, including pharmaceutical and biological derivatives, can be obtained in an efficient and eco‐friendly manner under air. The mechanistic studies revealed that this tetrabutylammonium‐iodide‐catalyzed/water‐assisted reaction generated a mercaptan species as the key intermediate.
