This review highlights the preparation of sodium sulfinates (RSO2Na) and their multifaceted
synthetic applications. Substantial progress has been made over the last decade in the …

The reactivity of the sulfonyl group varies dramatically from nucleophilic sulfinates through
chemically robust sulfones to electrophilic sulfonyl halides—a feature that has been used …

Rongalite has been used in several challenging synthetic transformations with operationally
simple and effective protocols. However, the employment of multiple characteristics of …

Dual catalytic systems involving photocatalytic activation and transition metal-catalyzed
steps have enabled innovative approaches to the construction of carbon–carbon and carbon …

One of the main goals of modern synthesis is to develop distinct reaction pathways from
identical starting materials for the efficient synthesis of diverse compounds. Herein, we …

Here, we describe a selective palladium catalyst system for chemodivergent
functionalization of alkynes with syngas. In the presence of an advanced ligand L2 bearing 2 …

Lewis basic salts promote benzyltrimethylsilane coupling with (hetero) aryl nitriles, sulfones,
and chlorides as a new route to 1, 1-diarylalkanes. This method combines the substrate …

A novel copper-catalyzed sulfur dioxide anion incorporation cascade for the synthesis of 1-
thiaflavanone sulfones has been disclosed using rongalite as an economic and safe sulfone …

A Chan–Lam-type C–S coupling reaction using sodium aryl sulfinates has been developed
to provide diaryl thioethers in up to 92% yields in the presence of a copper catalyst and …

Direct installation of the sulfinate group by the functionalization of unreactive aliphatic C–H
bonds can provide access to most classes of organosulfur compounds, because of the …
