Recent advances in direct α-C(sp3)-H bond functionalization of thioethers
Abstract
Thioether skeletons are widely present in drugs, natural products, functional materials, and life science. In the past decade, the selective C–H functionalization of thioethers has been extensively studied to construct novel thioether derivatives. This mini-review systematically introduces the recent advances in the field of the direct α-C(sp3)-H functionalization of thioethers.
