| Abstract: | The introduction of sulfur atoms onto target molecules is an important area in organic synthesis, in particular in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, and a wide variety of sulfuration agents have been developed for thionation reactions over the past few decades. In this Focus Review, we collect and summarize the C? S bond‐formation reactions that have been used to construct C? S bonds in natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. |
