Noncovalent Interactions in C-S Bond Formation Reactions.

Abstract

Organosulfur compounds are omnipresent in many drugs, natural products, and functional materials; therefore, methodologies of C-S bond formation reactions are desirable in synthesis. The recent trend to control many chemical reactions by cooperative multiple weak interactions have emerged as one of the popular topics in supramolecular catalysis. Herein, we have made a collection of literature which utilizes multiple noncovalent interactions like H-bonding, solvent bonding, S-H···π, C-H···π, π-π stacking, charge-transfer complexation, etc. toward aryl C-S bond-formation reactions.
