Recent developments in sulfur-carbon bond formation reaction involving thiosulfates

Sulfur-carbon bond construction has gained great attention recently since sulfur-containing organic molecules serve important functions in the pharmaceutical industry, agrochemistry, food chemistry, and materials science. Diverse sulfur sources have been developed over the past few decades, in which thio-sulfates showed unique properties in many transformations. In this Perspective, we summarized recent research on sulfur-carbon bond formation involving thiosulfates.
