Sulfur atom transfer (SAT) reaction

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Inorganic sulfur sources have been successfully used for introducing sulfur atom in order to replace thiols, which have the drawbacks of metal poisoning, unpleasant odor, and apt oxidation. Efficient and mild methods for constructing various C-S, S-O, and C˭S bonds under metal-catalyzed or photo-catalyzed conditions were shown here. Those convenient C-S bonds constructing reactions are excellent strategies for drug late stage sulfuration and unsymmetric material compounds synthesis.
