Abstract
Sulfides hold significant value in fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Efficient α-C ─ H transformations of these compounds offer streamlined routes to value-added derivatives but pose substantial challenges due to high C ─ H BDEs and catalyst poisoning. Photochemical strategies have emerged as powerful solutions for enabling α-C(sp3)-H functionalization of sulfides. This review comprehensively surveys photo-enabled sulfide α-C ─ H functionalization methodologies, with particular focus on hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and electron transfer/proton transfer (ET/PT) mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Chemistry—A European Journal is a truly international journal with top quality contributions (2018 ISI Impact Factor: 5.16). It publishes a wide range of outstanding Reviews, Minireviews, Concepts, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields.
Based in Europe Chemistry—A European Journal provides an excellent platform for increasing the visibility of European chemistry as well as for featuring the best research from authors from around the world.
All manuscripts are peer-reviewed, and electronic processing ensures accurate reproduction of text and data, plus short publication times.
The Concepts section provides nonspecialist readers with a useful conceptual guide to unfamiliar areas and experts with new angles on familiar problems.
Chemistry—A European Journal is published on behalf of ChemPubSoc Europe, a group of 16 national chemical societies from within Europe, and supported by the Asian Chemical Editorial Societies. The ChemPubSoc Europe family comprises: Angewandte Chemie, Chemistry—A European Journal, European Journal of Organic Chemistry, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, ChemPhysChem, ChemBioChem, ChemMedChem, ChemCatChem, ChemSusChem, ChemPlusChem, ChemElectroChem, and ChemistryOpen.
