Recent developments in sulfur-carbon bond formation reaction involving thiosulfates.
Sulfur-carbon bond construction has gained great attention recently since sulfur-containing organic molecules serve important functions in the pharmaceutical industry, agrochemistry, food chemistry, and materials science. Diverse sulfur sources have been developed over the past few decades, in which thiosulfates showed unique properties in many transformations. In this Perspective, we summarized recent research on sulfur-carbon bond formation involving thiosulfates.
