Abstract

The introduction of easy-to-handle SO2 surrogates has transformed the field of sulfur chemistry, enabling methodologies utilizing SO2 to be carried out without specialized apparatus, and paving the way for the development of new procedures. This review highlights some of the varied and significant developments associated with one of the most prominent SO2 surrogates: DABSO.
