Abstract
Here, we demonstrate palladium-catalyzed Hiyama-type cross-coupling reactions of aryl thianthrenium or phenoxathiinium salts. By employing stable and inexpensive organosilanes, the arylation, alkenylation, and alkynylation were realized in high efficiency using commercially available Pd(tBu3P)2 as the catalyst, thus providing a reliable method for preparation of biaryls, styrenes, and aryl acetylenes with a broad functional group tolerance under mild conditions. Given the accessibility of aryl thianthrenium or phenoxathiinium salts from simple arenes in a remarkable regioselective fashion, this protocol also provides an attractive approach for the late-stage modification of complex bioactive scaffolds.

Abstract
In 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol (HFIP), gem-bis(triflyl)cyclobutenes, which can be prepared by the (2+2) cycloaddition reaction of Tf2C=CH2 with alkynes, underwent desulfination to generate the corresponding cyclobutenyl cation. This unique reactivity was successfully applied to the Friedel-Crafts type cyclobutenylation reaction of several (hetero)aromatic compounds.

Abstract
Visible-light-promoted thiolation of benzyl chlorides with thiosulfonates is disclosed via an electron donor-acceptor complex strategy. In addition to efficiently delivering a series of arylbenzylsulfide compounds, versatile thioglycosides were also successfully constructed by applying the metal- and photocatalyst-free protocol. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a radical-radical coupling process was involved in this transformation.

Abstract
A novel strategy for the difunctionalization of electron-deficient alkenes with aryl sulfonium salts to access remote sulfur-containing oxindole derivatives by using in situ-formed copper(I)-based complexes as a photoredox catalyst is presented. This method enables the generation of the C(sp3)-centered radicals through site selective cleavage of the C-S bond of aryl sulfonium salts under mild conditions. Moreover, the oxidation reactions of desired products provide a new strategy for the preparation of sulfoxide or sulfone-containing compounds. Importantly, this approach can be easily applied to late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals molecules.

Abstract
A hybrid composite based on π-electron rich reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and mesoporous silica (SiO2) was prepared and decorated with copper species to afford a ternary nanocomposite material (Cu-CuO@rGO-SiO2). This copper-based nanocomposite was successfully used as a robust and multi-tasking heterogeneous catalyst for most common cross-coupling reactions (e.g. C-S, C-O and C-N coupling). A broad range of catalytic activities are believed to be originated from the synergism of different co-existing copper species (Cu(0) and CuO) and facile charge transfer from the metal ions towards rGO-SiO2 matrices, as established from XPS and other studies.

Abstract
Deuterium labeling compounds play a crucial role in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. The synthesis of such compounds typically involves deuterated building blocks, allowing for the incorporation of deuterium atoms and functional groups into a target molecule in a single step. Unfortunately, the limited availability of synthetic approaches to deuterated synthons has impeded progress in this field. Here, we present an approach utilizing alkyl-substituted thianthrenium salts that efficiently and selectively introduce deuterium at the α position of alkyl chains through a pH-dependent HIE process, using D2O as the deuterium source. The resulting α-deuterated alkyl thianthrenium salts, which bear two deuterium atoms, exhibit excellent selectivity and deuterium incorporation in electrophilic substitution reactions. Through in situ formation of isotopically labelled alkyl halides, these thianthrenium salts demonstrate excellent compatibility in a series of metallaphotoredox cross-electrophile coupling with (hetero)aryl, alkenyl, alkyl bromides, and other alkyl thianthrenium salts. Our technique allows for a wide range of substrates, high deuterium incorporation, and precise control over the site of deuterium insertion within a molecule such as the benzyl position, allylic position, or any alkyl chain in between, as well as neighboring heteroatoms. This makes it invaluable for synthesizing various deuterium-labeled compounds, especially those with pharmaceutical significance.

Abstract
The syntheses and structural elucidation of bimetallic thiolate complexes of early and late transition metals are described. Thermolysis of the bimetallic hydridoborate species [{Cp*CoPh}{µ-TePh}{µ-TeBH3-ĸ2Te,H}{Cp*Co}] (Cp* = ɳ5-C5Me5) (1) in the presence of CS2 afforded the bimetallic perthiocarbonate complex [(Cp*Co)2(μ-CS4-κ1S:κ2S')(μ-S2-κ2S″:κ1S‴)] (2) and the dithiolene complex [(Cp*Co)(μ-C3S5-κ1S,S'] (3). Complex 2 contains a four-membered metallaheterocycle (Co2S2) comprising a perthiocarbonate [CS4]2- unit and a disulfide [S2]2- unit, attached opposite to each other. Complex 2 was characterized by employing different multinuclear NMR, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Preliminary studies show that [Cp*VCl2]3 (4) with an intermediate generated from CS2 and [LiBH4·THF] yielded thiolate species, albeit different from the cobalt system. Furthermore, a computational analysis was performed to provide insight into the bonding of this bimetallic perthiocarbonate complex.

Abstract
Unimolecular fragment coupling (UFC) is defined as a reaction format, wherein atom(s) located in the middle of a molecule are extruded, and the remaining fragments are coupled. UFC is a potentially powerful strategy that is an alternative to transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling because the target chemical bond is formed in an intramolecular fashion, which is inherently beneficial for chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity issues. In this Perspective, we will present an overview of the recent advances in UFC reactions, which encompass those proceeding through the elimination of CO2, CO, SO2, isocyanates, N2, or single atoms primarily via transition metal catalysis.

Abstract
This review explores the pivotal role of sulfur in advancing sustainable carbon-carbon (C-C) coupling reactions. The unique electronic properties of sulfur, as a soft Lewis base with significant mesomeric effect make it an excellent candidate for initiating radical transformations, directing C-H-activation, and facilitating cycloaddition and C-S bond dissociation reactions. These attributes are crucial for developing waste-free methodologies in green chemistry. Our mini-review is focused on existing sulfur-directed C-C coupling techniques, emphasizing their sustainability and comparing state-of-the-art methods with traditional approaches. The review highlights the importance of this research in addressing current challenges in organic synthesis and catalysis. The innovative use of sulfur in photocatalytic, electrochemical and metal-catalyzed processes not only exemplifies significant advancements in the field but also opens new avenues for environmentally friendly chemical processes. By focusing on atom economy and waste minimization, the analysis provides broad appeal and potential for future developments in sustainable organic chemistry.

A regiodivergent allylation of 1H-indoles highly selectively at the C3 and N1 positions with β-acyl allylic sulfides through desulfurative C-C/C-N bond-forming reactions has been developed under mild conditions. Notably, the remarkable site-selective switch can be achieved by a delicate choice of solvents and bases. This cost-efficient method displays a broad substrate scope, good functional compatibility, and excellent site-selectivity, thus offering a divergent synthesis of indole substituted α-branched enones, which possess diverse potential opportunities for further applications and derivatization.

The cross-coupling reactions of the obtained "ArSCF2CF2Cu" with diverse aryl iodides (Ar'I) provide an efficient access to Ar'CF2CF2SAr. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the "ArSCF2CF2Cu" species were generated through controllable double difluoromethylene insertions into ArS-Cu bonds rather than the 1,2-addition of ArSCu to tetrafluoroethylene.

Abstract
Herein, the Ru-catalyzed chemo- and regioselective formation of four novel organoselenium compounds is established. Mono- and dialkenylated selanes were formed by the Se-directed o-C-H activation of benzyl(phenyl)selanes with alkynes. Unprecedented debenzylative/dearylative hydroselenations of alkynes were performed by slightly varying the amount of catalyst and temperature. Catalyst-driven direct formation of novel isoselenochromenes is also recorded. Altogether, 45 new organoseleno compounds were synthesized in good amounts with varieties of alkynes and selanes. This is the first report of its kind to deal with the synthesis of novel, challenging, and unusual organoseleno compounds in one reaction.

In this study, we introduce an efficient, metal-free electrocatalytic desulfurative protocol for forming C-N bonds by selectively activating inert C(sp3)-S bonds of alkyl thioethers. This method offers a straightforward and environmentally friendly approach for modification of heterocyclic compounds from readily accessible thioethers. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that the reaction proceeds via a carbocation intermediate. Furthermore, successful synthesis on a 10-gram scale was achieved in a continuous flow electrochemical reactor.

Abstract
In recent years, S-(alkyl)thianthrenium salts have become an important means of functionalizing alcohol compounds. However, additional transition metal catalysts and/or visible light are required. Herein, a direct thioetherification/amination reaction of thianthrenium salts is realized under metal-free conditions. This strategy exhibits good functional-group tolerance, operational simplicity, and an extensive range of compatible substrates.

Abstract
Thiosemicarbazones are biologically active substances whose structural formula is formed by an azomethine, an hydrazine, and a thioamide fragments, to generate a R2C=N-NR-C(=S)-NR2 backbone. These compounds often act as ligands to generate highly stable metal-organic complexes. In certain experimental conditions, however, thiosemicarbazones undergo reactions leading to the cleavage of the chain. Sometimes, the breakage involves desulfurization processes. The present work summarizes the different chemical factors that influence the desulfurization reactions of thiosemicarbazones, such as pH, the presence of oxidant reactants or the establishment of redox processes as those electrochemically induced, the effects of the solvent, the temperature, and the electromagnetic radiation. Many of these reactions require coordination of thiosemicarbazones to metal ions, even those present in the intracellular environment. The nature of the products generated in these reactions, their detection in vivo and in vitro, together with the relevance for the biological activity of these compounds, mainly as antineoplastic agents, is discussed.

Abstract
The oxidation process is widely explored and used to synthesize diverse organic chemicals. Herein, a unified metal-free photooxidative platform for the cleavage of C-heteroatom bonds has been developed. In these reactions, the aminoquinolate diarylboron (AQDAB) complex is utilized as the photocatalyst, instigating the oxidation process induced by visible light. The cleavage of C-heteroatom bonds can be achieved chemoselectively, affording the formal carbonylation product of C-N, C-S, and C-Se bonds. This method provides a channel for connecting amines, thiols, or selenides with the carbonyl compounds directly, broadening the potential applications of oxidation as a synthetic tool.

Abstract
Given the importance of cyclic frameworks in molecular scaffolds and drug discovery, it is intriguing to precisely forge and manipulate ring systems in synthetic chemistry. In this field, the intermolecular synthesis of densely substituted cyclobutanes with precise diastereocontrol under simple reaction conditions remains a challenge. Herein, a photoredox strategy for the difunctionalization of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) under high regio- and syn-selectivity is disclosed. C-S σ-bond cleavage of partially unsaturated sulfur-containing bifunctional reagents in an overall strain-release-driven process enables the thio-alkynylation, -alkenylation, and -allylation of BCBs under mild conditions and demonstrates the generality of this protocol. Mechanistic studies suggest that the intermediacy of cyclic distonic radical cations might be key for the efficient scission of C-S σ-bonds and the origin of diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
The formation of aromatic thioethers from C-S coupling is of great importance in synthetic chemistry. Traditional solution strategies through transition-metal catalysis generally require bulk solution, heat, and longer reaction time. Herein, a mechano-promoted sulfenylation of aryl iodides with nickel catalysis is described. The active aromatic sulfide agents are in-situ generated from aromatic thiol or disulfide and subsequently adapted in the nickel catalytic cycle, with a tolerance of broad substituted groups under optimized conditions. In addition to the gram-scale synthesis that reveals the application potential of the method, the radical trapping and competitive experiments are also conducted for the mechanistic study, thus providing a plausible mechanism rationally. Furthermore, the proposed methodology is certificated as being versatile and following the green principles with ideal calculated values of green chemistry metrics, and the comparison with other approaches for C-S bond formation is also demonstrated.

Abstract
The direct arylation polycondensation (DArP) has become one of the most important methods to construct conjugated polymers (CPs). However, the homocoupling side-reactions of aryl halides and the low regioseletive reactivities of unfunctionalized aryls hinder the development of DArP. Here, an efficient Pd and Cu co-catalyzed DArP was developed via inert C-S bond cleavage of aryl thioethers, of which robustness was exemplified by over twenty conjugated polymers (CPs), including copolymers, homopolymers, and random polymers. The capture of oxidative addition intermediate together with experimental and theoretic results suggested the important role of palladium (Pd) and copper (Cu) co-catalysis with a bicyclic mechanism. The studies of NMR, molecular weights, trap densities, two-dimensional grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (2D-GIWAXS), and the charge transport mobilities revealed that the homocoupling reactions were significantly suppressed with high regioselectivity of unfunctionalized aryls, suggesting this method is an excellent choice for synthesizing high performance CPs.

Abstract
The selective C(sp3)-S bond cleavage of thioethers was first developed to prepare unsymmetrical disulfides by using electrophilic halogenation reagents. In this strategy, NBS (N-bromosuccinimide) achieves selective furfuryl C(sp3)-S bond cleavage of furfuryl alkylthioethers at room temperature. Meanwhile, NFSI (N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide) enables selective methyl C(sp3)-S bond cleavage of aryl and alkyl methylthioethers at an elevated temperature. Notably, the substrate scope investigation indicates that the order of selectivity of the C-S bond cleavage is furfuryl C(sp3)-S > benzyl C(sp3)-S > alkyl C(sp3)-S > C(sp2)-S bond. Moreover, this practical and operationally simple strategy also provides an important complementary way to access various unsymmetrical disulfides with excellent functional group tolerances and moderate to good yields.

Abstract
The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is one of the most important and powerful methods for constructing C-C bonds. However, the protodeboronation of arylboronic acids hinder the development of Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in the precise synthesis of conjugated polymers (CPs). Here, an anhydrous room temperature Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between (hetero)aryl boronic esters and aryl sulfides was explored, of which universality was exemplified by thirty small molecules and twelve CPs. Meanwhile, the mechanistic studies involving with capturing four coordinated borate intermediate revealed the direct transmetalation of boronic esters in the absence of H2 O suppressing the protodeboronation. Additionally, the room temperature reaction significantly reduced the homocoupling defects and enhanced the optoelectronic properties of the CPs. In all, this work provides a green protocol to synthesize alternating CPs.

Abstract
An unprecedented defluorocyclization of perfluorobutyl tetralones with Na2S·9H2O was developed for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl 1,2-dithioles, which provided chemists novel access to biologically and pharmaceutically relevant organofluorides. Successive C(sp3)-F bond functionalization at the perfluoroalkyl chain is vital for the formation of four C-H/C-S/S-S bonds and a five-membered S-heterocycle assembly. Cheap, weakly toxic, and odorless inorganic sulfide Na2S·9H2O acts as both a disulfurating precursor and a hydrodefluorinating reagent in this tandem multi-bond-interconverting reaction.

Abstract
An efficient protocol has been developed herein for the site-selective alkylation of silyl enol ethers with arylsulfonium salts giving access to valuable aryl alkyl thioethers under visible light conditions. Enabled by copper (I) photocatalysis, the C-S bond of arylsulfonium salts can be selectively cleaved to deliver C-centered radicals under mild conditions. This developed method provides a straightforward approach to utilize arylsulfonium salts as sulfur sources for the synthesis of aryl alkyl thioethers.

Abstract
Herein, a regioselective, late-stage two-step arene halogenation method is reported. We propose how unusual Ni(I)/(III) catalysis is enabled by a combination of aryl thianthrenium and Ni redox properties that is hitherto unachieved with other (pseudo)halides. The catalyst is accessed in situ from inexpensive NiCl2·6(H2O) and zinc without the need of supporting ligands.

A straightforward cross-coupling of aryl thioether with aryl bromide with the aid of nickel salt, magnesium, and lithium chloride in tetrahydrofuran at ambient temperature was accomplished. The one-pot reactions proceeded efficiently via C-S bond cleavage to produce the desired biaryls in modest to good yields, avoiding the use of pregenerated or commercial organometallic reagents.

Abstract
The aldol reaction is among the most powerful and strategically important carbon-carbon bond-forming transformations in organic chemistry. The importance of the aldol reaction in constructing chiral building blocks for complex small-molecule synthesis has spurred continuous efforts toward the development of direct catalytic variants. The realization of a general catalytic aldol reaction with control over both the relative and absolute configurations of the newly formed stereogenic centers has been a longstanding goal in the field. Here, we report a decarboxylative aldol reaction that provides access to all four possible stereoisomers of the aldol product in one step from identical reactants. The mild reaction can be carried out on a large scale in an open flask, and generates CO2 as the only by-product. The method tolerates a broad substrate scope and generates chiral β-hydroxy thioester products with substantial downstream utility.

Abstract
The visible-light-induced photoredox carbon radical formation from aqueous sulfoxonium ylides has been demonstrated for the first time. While direct reduction of sulfoxonium ylides by H2O efficiently generates the corresponding hydrocarbon compounds, the use of additional alkenes as radical acceptors alters the chemical reactivity to achieve alkene carboarylation of N-arylacrylamides. Mechanistic studies reveal two different reaction pathways involved in the carbon radical formation from aqueous sulfoxonium ylides resulting in reduction to release dimethyl sulfone and carboarylation to form DMSO.

Abstract
Organosulfur compounds are prevalent in various natural products, which have been widely applied in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Herein, a new approach for the efficient construction of sulfur-containing oxindoles by photoinduced alkene difunctionalization via sulfur 1,2-relocation is developed. The method exhibited a high functional group tolerance and broad substrate compatibility. A library of sulfur-containing oxindole derivatives were synthesized under mild conditions (metal-, photocatalyst-, and additive-free). Mechanistic investigations revealed this photochemical process was triggered by the formation of an EDA complex of oxindole enolates with a redox-active ester, and the in situ generation of alkenes from the C-S bond cleavage of β-sulfanyl radicals was a key step in this transformation.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of thioesters by selective acyl C(O)-S cleavage have emerged as a powerful platform for the preparation of complex molecules. Herein, we report divergent Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling of thioesters by Pd-NHC (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) catalysis. The reaction provides straightforward access to functionalized ketones by highly selective C(acyl)-S cleavage under mild conditions. Most crucially, the conditions enable direct functionalization of a range of complex pharmaceuticals decorated with a palette of sensitive functional groups, providing attractive products for medicinal chemistry programs. Furthermore, decarbonylative Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling by C(acyl)-S/C(aryl)-C(O) cleavage is reported. Cu metal cofactor directs the reaction pathway to acyl or decarbonylative pathway. This reactivity is applicable to complex pharmaceuticals. The reaction represents the mildest decarbonylative Suzuki cross-coupling discovered to date. The Cu-directed divergent acyl and decarbonylative cross-coupling of thioesters opens up chemical space in complex molecule synthesis.

Abstract
Selective C(sp3)-S bond breaking and transformation remains a particularly important, yet challenging goal in synthetic chemistry. Over the past few decades, transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions through the cleavage of C(sp3)-S bonds provided a powerful platform for the construction of target molecules. In contrast, the selective activation of widespread C(sp3)-S bonds is rarely studied and remains underdeveloped, even under relatively harsh conditions. Herein, a radical-mediated electrochemical strategy capable of selectively activating C(sp3)-S bonds is disclosed, offering an unprecedented method for the synthesis of valuable disulfides from widespread thioethers. Importantly, compared with conventional transition-metal catalyzed C-S bond breaking protocols, this method features mild, catalyst- and oxidant-free reaction conditions, as well excellent chemoselectivity towards C(sp3)-S bonds. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that sulfur radical species are involved in the reaction pathway and play an essential role in controlling the site-selectivity.

Abstract
The exceptional versatility of sulfones has been extensively exploited in organic synthesis across several decades. Since the first demonstration in 2005 that sulfones can participate in Pd-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura type reactions, tremendous advances in catalytic desulfitative functionalizations have opened a new area of research with burgeoning activity in recent years. This emerging field is displaying sulfone derivatives as a new class of substrates enabling catalytic C-C and C-X bond construction. In this review, we will discuss new facets of sulfone reactivity toward further expanding the flexibility of C-S bonds, with an emphasis on key mechanistic features. The inherent challenges confronting the development of these strategies will be presented, along with the potential application of this chemistry for the synthesis of natural products. Taken together, this knowledge should stimulate impactful improvements on the use of sulfones in catalytic desulfitative C-C and C-X bond formation. A main goal of this article is to bring this technology to the mainstream catalysis practice and to serve as inspiration for new perspectives in catalytic transformations.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical cross-coupling method for the synthesis of thiocyanates via the direct cyanation of readily available thiophenols or thiols with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) was developed. This approach was also suitable for selenols. External oxidant-free, transition-metal-free and mild operating conditions were the main advantages of this protocol. A series of thiocyanates and selenocyanates could be obtained in moderate to high yields.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed C-S reductive cross-coupling of alkyl halides with arylthiosilanes for producing alkyl aryl thioethers is developed. This reaction is initiated by umpolung transformations of arylthiosilanes followed by C-S reductive cross-coupling with alkyl halides to manage an electrophilic alkyl group onto the electrophilic sulfur atom and then construct a C(sp3)-S bond, and features exquisite chemoselectivity, excellent tolerance of diverse functional groups, and wide applications for late-stage modification of biologically relevant molecules.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed desulfonative carbonylation of thiosulfonates has been explored. Without any additive, a series of S-aryl/alkyl benzenesulfonothioates were successfully transformed to thioesters in moderate to excellent yields by SO2 extrusion and CO insertion under the pressure of 1 bar of CO. The solvent dimethylacetamide (DMAc) facilitated this desulfonative carbonylation due to its high absorbing ability of SO2.
