We present a straightforward, catalyst- and additive-free method for synthesizing keto γ-butyrolactones using readily available β-keto sulfoxonium ylides and acrylic acids. This robust approach demonstrates exceptional compatibility with various functional groups on β-keto sulfoxonium ylides and α-substituted acrylic acids, resulting in good to high yields of the anticipated products. Moreover, the practicality of this approach was validated through large-scale reactions and the successful conversion of some synthesized derivatives into bioactive natural products, including L-factor, muricatacin, and cytosporanone A.

Abstract
Organic molecules containing fluorine and sulfur atoms represent a large percentage of approved pharmaceuticals. Those with combination of both S and F atoms in their structure such as Xtandi, approved in 2012 for prostate cancer, indicates the importance of synthetic methods that accommodates both atoms in an organic moiety. In this study, a novel aspect of sulfoxonium ylide reactivity was explored, unveiling a streamlined and mild synthesis method for gem-difluorinated keto-sulfoxides. Our protocol offers a direct and practical approach to prepare these compounds in 14-80 % chemical yields, that were represented by 21 examples. NMR studies and Hammett correlations gave strong evidence about the mechanism of this transformation.

Abstract
The untapped potential of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides in epoxide ring-opening reactions has been a notable gap in current research, with such reactivity predominantly associated with the highly reactive dimethylsulfoxonium methylide. This study introduces an innovative approach wherein an epoxide indole, formed in situ from 2-hydroxyindoline-3-triethylammonium bromide, undergoes reaction with α-ester sulfoxonium ylides. The outcome is the efficient synthesis of a range of 2-hydroxyindolin-3-ylidenes, demonstrating favorable yields (41-81%) and Z/E ratios from 4:1 to those of exclusive Z isomers. Additionally, the photophysical properties of the synthesized indolinylidenes are explored, along with their derivatization using various nucleophiles under acid catalysis.

Abstract
Insertion reactions that involve stabilized electrophilic metallocarbenes are of great importance for installing α-heteroatoms to carbonyl compounds. Nevertheless, the limited availability of carbene precursors restricts the introduction of only a single heteroatom. In this report, we describe a new approach based on an I(III) /S(VI) reagent that promotes the cascade insertion of heteroatoms. This is achieved by sequentially generating two α-heteroatom-substituted metal carbenes in one reaction. We found that this mixed I(III) /S(VI) ylide reacts efficiently with a transition metal catalyst and an X-H bond (where X=O, N). This transformation leads to the sequential formation of a sulfoxonium- and an X-substituted Rh-carbenes, enabling further reactions with another Y-H bond. Remarkably, a wide range of symmetrical and unsymmetrical α,α-O,O-, α,α-O,N-, and α,α-N,N-subsituted ketones can be prepared under mild ambient conditions. In addition, we successfully demonstrated other cascades, such as CN/CN double amidation, C-H/C-S double insertion, and C-S/Y-H double insertion (where Y=S, N, O, C). Notably, the latter two cascades enabled the simultaneous installation of three functional groups to the α-carbon of carbonyl compounds in a single step. These reactions demonstrate the versatility of our approach, allowing for the synthesis of ketones and esters with multiple α-heteroatoms using a common precursor.

Abstract
Sulfoxonium ylides are important synthetic precursors in various organic transformations. Their synthetic potential was well explored in the synthesis of various bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. Vinyl sulfoxonium ylide is a stabilized sulfoxonium ylide containing an electron-deficient alkene at the ylidic carbon. Similar to α-keto sulfoxonium ylides, these reagents can generate vinyl carbenes in the presence of metals under suitable conditions. These vinyl carbenes can be used for various organic transformations such as X-H (X = C, N, O, S) insertions, annulations, and rearrangement reactions. Due to the dipole structure of the vinyl sulfoxonium ylide, it can undergo electrophilic addition with electrophiles at the α-position. These reagents are used as synthons for various aromatic and heteroaromatic compound syntheses. Moreover, their stability and convenient handling make them potential replacements for thermally less stable vinyl diazo compounds. Herein, we provide an overview of early efforts in this area, with particular emphasis on our own recent development of vinyl sulfoxonium ylide-mediated transformations in the presence and absence of metal catalysis, and also give personal perspectives on the challenges and future scope for improving the application of vinyl sulfoxonium ylides.

Abstract
Simple, versatile, and catalyst-free synthetic methods for β-keto dithiocarbamates, thiazolidine-2-thiones, and thiazole-2-thiones via the multicomponent reaction of CS2, amines, and sulfoxonium ylides have been described. The β-keto sulfoxonium ylides furnished β-keto dithiocarbamates in the presence of CS2 and secondary amines, whereas primary amines afforded thiazolidine-2-thiones or thiazole-2-thiones after dehydration in an acidic environment. With simple procedures, the reaction has a wide substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance.

Abstract
Sulfur ylides are an important class of organic compounds due to their ability to perform many different transformations that can give diverse and interesting products with a high degree of complexity. Although metal-catalyzed transformations are frequent in this class of compounds, organocatalyzed transformations remain scarce. From initial works, this review aims to show organocatalyzed transformations from sulfur ylides, involving cyclopropanation and formal N–H, S–H, and C–H insertion reactions, including enantioselective versions. The proposed mechanisms and the modes of activation of these organocatalysts will be covered. Furthermore, advances in this area and potential challenges to be circumvented in the near future will also be discussed.

Abstract
A method for the synthesis of allyl substituted γ-butenolides via carbonyl ylide rearrangement of vinyl sulfoxonium ylide-derived carbenes has been developed. At rt, the mechanism involves a carbonyl ylide generation/allyloxy furan formation/[3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement/isomerization sequence for the generation of 3-allyl butenolides. At 70 °C, instead of the final isomerization step, the resulting [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement product undergoes further [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to produce 5-allyl butenolide. In the absence of the catalyst, the reaction affords a diene via [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.

Abstract
An efficient catalyst- and additive-free facile synthesis of α-carbonyl-α'-amide sulfoxonium ylides from isocyanates and β-ketosulfoxonium ylides with complete atom economy has been described. The β-ketosulfoxonium ylides and isocyanates adorned with various functional groups were well-tolerated and afforded moderate to high yields of the α-carbonyl-α'-amide sulfoxonium ylide derivatives. Finally, using large-scale reactions and converting the synthesized ylides into other valuable compounds, we demonstrated the practicality of this synthetic method.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of sp2 C-H bonds with diazo compounds via carbene migratory insertion represents an efficient strategy for the construction of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds in organic synthesis. Despite the popularity of diazo compounds as coupling partners in C-H activation, they pose serious safety and stability issues due to potential exothermic reactions linked with the release of N2 gas. However, compared with diazo compounds, sulfoxonium ylides are generally crystalline solids, more stable, widely used in industrial scales, and easier/safer to prepare. Therefore, recent years have witnessed an upsurge in employing α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides as an alternative carbene surrogate in transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation. Unlike diazo compounds, α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides contain inherent potential to serve as a coupling partner as well as a weak directing group. This review will summarize the progress made in both categories of reactions.

Abstract
In this report, we present a highly efficient approach for the synthesis of β,γ-disubstituted γ-butyrolactone motifs. This newly developed strategy is based on the combination of a diastereoselective aldol and a nickel carbene-mediated γ-butyrolactonization and uses an effective intramolecular ring closure to rapidly access a range of functionalized chiral γ-butyrolactones. This single-step approach was applied to produce straightforward asymmetric syntheses of (-)-talaumidin methyl ether, (+)-veraguensin, and (+)-dubiusamine A and a formal synthesis of (+)-phaseolinic acid as one of the shortest syntheses disclosed to date.

Abstract
An efficient base, additive and metal-free synthetic methods for α-ketothioamide and α-ketoamide derivatives from readily available sulfoxonium ylides have been described. Sulfoxonium ylides with primary or secondary amines afforded α-ketothioamides in the presence of elemental sulfur, whereas α-ketoamides were produced when I2 and TBHP were present. The reaction proceeded well at room temperature and generated the corresponding molecules in good to excellent yields. The reaction can be scaled-up and tolerated by a range of functional groups with simple operational procedures.

Abstract
The development of novel methodologies for the introduction of the sulfoxonium group under mild conditions is appealing but remains underexplored. Herein we report the synthesis of a class of hypervalent iodine reagents with a transferrable sulfoxonium group. These compounds enable mixed iodonium-sulfoxonium ylide reactivity. These well-defined reagents are examined in visible-light-promoted cyclization reactions with a wide range of unsaturated bonds including alkenes, alkynes, nitriles, and allenes. Two distinct cyclization pathways are identified, which are controlled by the substituent of the unsaturated bond. The cycloaddition protocol features simple operation, mild reaction conditions, and excellent functional group tolerance, affording a broad range of sulfoxonium-containing cyclic structures in moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, the sufoxonium group in the product can be transformed into diverse functional groups and structural motifs via single electron transfer and transition-metal catalysis.

Abstract
An unprecedented copper-catalyzed cascade reaction of 1,6-enynes with sulfoxonium ylides is reported, providing a series of structurally intriguing 2,3-disubstituted indolines bearing a conjugated dienone functionality at the 3-position in moderate to excellent yields with good chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, sulfoxonium-ylide-derived copper-carbene herein exhibits quite different reactivity from that of diazo copper-carbene. A rational mechanism, an initial ammonium ylide rather than allene formation, is proposed.

Abstract
A novel visible-light-promoted coupling of diazoketones with sulfoxonium ylides, employing a violet light-emitting diode, is described under both batch and continuous flow conditions. This transformation permits the direct synthesis of synthetically useful 1,3-dicarbonyl sulfoxonium ylides (33 examples, 21-85% yields), by means of an acylation from the in situ and selective generation of ketenes. The reaction performed under flow conditions proved to be very efficient, providing the 1,3-dicarbonyl sulfoxonium ylides with higher yields and shorter reaction times.

Abstract
New zwitterionic dirhenium carbonyl complexes containing ammonioethenyl and phosphonioethenyl ligands have been synthesized and studied. The reaction of Re2(CO)10 with C2H2 and Me3NO yielded the dirhenium complex Re2(CO)9(NMe3) (6) and the new zwitterionic complex Re2(CO)9[η1-E-2-CH═CH(NMe3)] (7). Compound 6 was characterized structurally and was found to have a NMe3 ligand in an equatorial coordination site cis to a long Re-Re single bond, Re-Re = 3.0938(2) Å. Compound 7 can be obtained from the reaction of 6 with ethyne (C2H2) formally by the insertion of ethyne into the Re-N bond to the NMe3 ligand. Compound 7 contains a 2-trimethylammonioethenyl ligand, -CH═CH(+NMe3), that is formally a zwitterion having a positive charge on the nitrogen atom and a negative charge on the terminal carbon atom. When coordinated to rhenium by the terminal ethenyl carbon atom, the negative charge on the -CH═CH(+NMe3) carbon atom is formally transferred to the rhenium atom. The reaction of Re2(CO)10 with C2H2 and NEt3 in the presence of Me3NO yielded the new dirhenium complex Re2(CO)9[η1-E-2-CH═CH(NEt3)] (8) together with some 6 and 7. Compound 8 is structurally similar to 7, but it contains a NEt3 group in the ammonioethenyl ligand in the place of the NMe3 group in 7. Reactions of 7 with PMePh2 and PPh3 yielded the zwitterionic 2-arylphosphonioethenyl-coordinated dirhenium carbonyl complexes, Re2(CO)9[η1-E-2-CH═CH(PPh2Me)] (9a) and Re2(CO)9[η1-E-2-CH═CH(PPh3)] (9b), and the zwitterionic 1-phosphonioethenyl ligand in the dirhenium carbonyl complexes, Re2(CO)9[η1-1-C(PPh2Me)(═CH2)] (10a), Re2(CO)8[μ-η2-1-C(PPh2Me)(═CH2)] (11a), and Re2(CO)8[[μ-η2-1-C(PPh3)(CH2)] (11b). Compound 10a was converted to 11a and the new compound Re2(CO)7(μ-H)[μ-η2-1-(CH2C)P(Ph)(Me)(o-C6H4)], (12) by decarbonylation using Me3NO. Compound 12 contains an ortho-metalated phenyl ring. The new products 6,7, 8, 9b, 10a, 11a, 11b and 12 were characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.

Abstract
In this paper, a selective synthesis of indolo[1,2-c]quinazolines and indolo[3,2-c]quinolines through the cascade reactions of 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)anilines with sulfoxonium ylides is presented. The formation of products involves the generation of a carbene species from sulfoxonium ylide and its N-H bond insertion reaction with 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)aniline followed by deoxygenative imine formation, intramolecular N- or C- nucleophilic addition and deoxygenative aromatization. This switchable synthesis was condition-dependent. In the presence of K2CO3 in CH3CN, the reaction mainly furnished indolo[1,2-c]quinazolines. In the presence of HOAc in dioxane, it selectively afforded indolo[3,2-c]quinolines. In addition, direct C-H/N-H functionalization of the products obtained provides a convenient and direct access to polycyclic heteroaromatic compounds. These novel protocols have advantages such as readily accessible substrates, easily tunable selectivity, good compatibility with diverse functional groups, and the use of air as a cost-free and sustainable oxidant.

On one hand they have found broad applications in organic synthesis and materials science, but on the other hand, while isoelectronic to the ubiquitous tertiary phosphine ligands, their own coordination chemistry has been neglected for the last three decades. Here we report the synthesis and full characterization of the first Rh(i) and Pt(ii) complexes of sulfonium. Moreover, for the first time, coordination of an aromatic sulfonium has been established. A thorough computational analysis of the exceptionally short S-Rh bonds obtained attests to the strongly π-accepting nature of sulfonium cations and places them among the best π-acceptor ligands available today. Our calculations also show that embedding within a pincer framework enhances their π-acidity even further. Therefore, in addition to the stability and modularity that these frameworks offer, our pincer complexes might open the way for sulfonium cations to become powerful tools in π-acid catalysis.

Abstract
Efforts to develop catalytic carbene transfer reactions have largely relied on the use of diazo precursors. However, diazoalkanes are susceptible to undergoing violent exothermic decomposition unless they contain stabilizing substituents. Consequently, most synthetic methods are restricted to diazoacetates or related derivatives. In this Perspective, we describe an alternative approach to carbene transfer catalysis based on the generation of metal carbenoids from gem-dihaloalkanes and gem-dihaloalkenes. These precursors are readily available and stable in unsubstituted form or with a variety of donor and acceptor substituents. Using this approach, it is possible to design cyclopropanation reactions with non-stabilized carbenes, such as methylene, isopropylidene, and vinylidene. Furthermore, due to the distinct mechanistic pathways of these reactions, novel modes of cycloaddition can be carried out, including [4 + 1]-cycloadditions.

Abstract
Functionalization of carboxylic acids using sulfoxonium ylides in the presence of [VO(acac)2] as a catalyst is reported. The usual carbene source, diazo compounds, failed to produce α-carbonyloxy esters in good yield when compared to sulfoxonium ylides. Various standard spectroscopic and analytical techniques were used to characterize the products formed.

Abstract
Dimethyl sulfide, a major byproduct of the Kraft pulping process, was used as an inexpensive and sustainable catalyst/co-reagent (methyl donor) for various methylations with dimethyl carbonate (as both reagent and solvent), which afforded excellent yields of O-methylated phenols and benzoic acids, and mono-C-methylated arylacetonitriles. Furthermore, these products could be isolated using a remarkably straightforward workup and purification procedure, realized by dimethyl sulfide's neutral and distillable nature and the absence of residual salts. The likely mechanisms of these methylations were elucidated using experimental and theoretical methods, which revealed that the key step involves the generation of a highly reactive trimethylsulfonium methylcarbonate intermediate. The phenol methylation process represents a rare example of a Williamson-type reaction that occurs without the addition of a Brønsted base.

Abstract
Sulfoxonium ylides are important surrogates for diazo compounds, and their use in industry as safer alternatives has been evaluated during recent years. Beyond the known classical transformations, these ylides have also been used in a surprising plethora of novel and intrinsic chemical reactions, especially in recent years. Bench stability and handling are also an advantage of this class of organosulfur molecules. Despite this, efficient asymmetric transformations, specifically catalytic enantioselective versions, have only recently been reported, and there are specific reasons for this. This perspective article covers this topic from the first studies up to the latest advances, giving personal perspectives and showing the main challenges in this area in the coming years.

Abstract
Disclosed here is a catalytic asymmetric azidation reaction for the efficient synthesis of α-azido ketones bearing a labile tertiary stereocenter. With a superb chiral squaramide catalyst, a mild asymmetric formal H–N3 insertion of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides proceeded with excellent efficiency and enantioselectivity. This organocatalytic process not only complements the previous α-azidation approaches for the formation of quaternary stereocenters and mostly for 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, but also has advantages over the well-known metal-catalyzed asymmetric carbene insertion chemistry using α-diazocarbonyl compounds. Detailed mechanistic studies via control reactions and NMR studies provided important insights into the reaction pathway, which features reversible protonation and dynamic kinetic resolution. The curiosity in mechanism also led to the development of a simplified alternative protocol with a cheaper HN3 source. An organocatalytic asymmetric H–N3 insertion of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides has been developed, providing efficient access to α-azido ketones bearing labile tertiary stereocenters and complementing the metal carbene insertion chemistry.![]()

Abstract
The first example of organocatalytic enantioselective C-H insertion reactions of indoles and sulfoxonium ylides is reported. Under the influence of phosphoric acid catalysis, levels of enantiocontrol in the range of 20-93% ee and moderate yields (up to 50%) were achieved for 29 examples in formal C-H insertion reactions of free indoles and α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides. No nitrogen protection on the indole is necessary.

Abstract
Herein, a highly regioselective domino skeletal-expansion process that transforms 2-aminothiazolidinone into six-membered S,N-heterocycle is developed with the aid of TMS-azide in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) at ambient temperature. Functioning of the C2 tertiary amine as latent reactive group on thiazolidinone moiety was the key to this development, which allowed relay substitution with azide and imparted subsequent ring-expansion under metal/acid free-conditions. The reaction also underscored an intermolecular nitrogen-atom transfer process from TMS-azide leading to final products, where any intermediary azidothiazolidinone was absent. The strategy was extendable to analogous synthesis of Se,N-heterocycles, and furthermore, late-stage drug-modification and follow-up transformations were also performed. Density functional theory calculations and control experiments provided important mechanistic insights and highlighted potential roles of HFIP in the transformation.

Abstract
Described here is the first organocatalytic asymmetric N–H insertion reaction of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides. Without a metal catalyst, this reaction represents an attractive complement to the well-established carbene insertion reactions. As a stable surrogate of diazocarbonyl compounds, sulfoxonium ylides reacted with a range of aryl amines to provide efficient access to α-aryl glycines with excellent enantiocontrol in the presence of a suitable chiral phosphoric acid catalyst. The high stability and weak basicity of sulfoxonium ylides not only enable this protocol to be user-friendly and practically useful, but also preclude catalyst decomposition, which is crucial to the excellent amenability to electron-poor amine nucleophiles. Detailed mechanistic studies indicated that the initial protonation is reversible and the C–N bond formation is rate-determining. An organocatalytic asymmetric N–H insertion reaction of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides has been developed to provide efficient access to α-amino esters without involving a metal carbenoid intermediate.![]()

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed P-H insertion reaction between sulfoxonium ylides and H-phosphorus oxides has been demonstrated, furnishing α-phosphonyl carboxylate derivatives in 41-93% yields. This methodology utilizing bench-stable and thermodynamically stable sulfoxonium ylides as carbene precursors in the presence of the inexpensive and readily available copper catalyst shows advantages such as mild reaction conditions, good functional group compatibility, and easy scale-up, which make this protocol attractive for large-scale chemical processing and processing at the industrial scale.
