The journey of C–S bond formation from metal catalysis to electrocatalysis

Abstract

Due to widespread applications of sulfur-containing frameworks, the construction of the C–S bond has emerged as a useful tool for synthetic organic and medicinal chemists in the recent years. Initially, the C–S bond formations were carried out under transition metal catalysis. The last 10–15 years have been a glorified era for the C–S bond constructions during which various sustainable procedures have been developed. This perspective describes the journey of C–S bond construction starting from transition metal catalysis through oxidant catalysis, photocatalysis and the very recently employed electrocatalysis using various sulfur surrogates.
