Abstract:
Sulfinate esters (sulfinic acid esters) play a crucial role in various research fields including synthetic organic chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. In this feature article, I review recent advances in the study of sulfinate esters within the realm of synthetic organic chemistry. First, recent methods for the efficient synthesis of diverse sulfinate esters from readily available starting materials such as thiols, aryl iodides, and sulfinic acids are discussed. Second, I introduce various modern transformations of sulfinate esters, categorized according to their reaction mechanisms.
