Abstract

Diaryl sulfides are a highly valuable class of sulfur-containing compounds presented in numerous drugs with a broad range of therapeutic activities and are also employed as precursors to other higher oxidation state sulfur-containing compounds with important bioactivities. Thus, the development of efficient approaches for C−S bond formation is essential in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Many efforts have been made in constructing C−S bonds via various protocols. This review highlights the current strategies emphasizing metal-catalyzed reactions (MRC), metal-free approaches, photocatalysis reactions, and MCR's from 2012 onwards. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
