Abstract

The utilization of sulfur heterocycles in organic synthesis has attracted significant attention due to their wide-ranging applications. This review showcases the syntheses of diverse sulfur heterocycles embedded with amino acid derivatives, polycycles, spirocycles, cyclophanes, and other complex scaffolds. The reported methods extend beyond compound synthesis and highlight the use of different sulfur reagents for constructing sulfur heterocycles. This Review also discusses the utility of a variety of sulfur-containing starting materials for the generation of complex target molecules.
