ConspectusDuring the past few years, interest among organic synthesis practitioners in use of sulfonium salts has exponentially growth. This can arguably be attributed to a series specific factors: (a) The recent development more direct and efficient protocols for these species, which make reagents wide structural variety easily available multigram scale. (b) recognition that reactivity resembles hypervalent iodine compounds, therefore, they used as effective replacement such species most their applications. (c) Their intrinsic thermal stability tolerance air moisture, clearly surpass I(III)-reagents analogue reactivity, facilitate purification, isolation well-defined storage, safely handling on larger (d) Finally, possibility further functionalize once sulfur-containing platform been incorporated. Specifically, this last synthetic approach is not trivial when working with I(III)-species facilitates access no counterpart I(III) realm.This renewed led improvement already existing transformations well discovery unprecedented ones; particular, by incorporate partners traditional cross-coupling C–H activation steps or combine them modern technologies photocatalysis electrosynthesis. In Account, originally prepared our laboratory will outlined compared I(III)-counterparts. Some are now commercially available, started spread widely across chemistry community, helping speed process identification potentially bioactive products new functionaliced materials. However, challenges still remain. characterized an optimal balance between site-selectivity, showing broader compatibility toward sensitive functional groups need. addition, often makes necessary (sophisticated) catalysts activate latent hidden structures. Although priori one see fact disadvantage, it might actually decisive harvest full potential because surely preparation operational context I(III)-chemistry. If becomes true, may contribute expediting retrosynthetic disconnections that, date, impossible.
