DABSO – A Reagent to Revolutionize Organosulfur Chemistry

Abstract

AbstractThe introduction of easy-to-handle SO2 surrogates has transformed the field of sulfur chemistry, enabling methodologies utilizing SO2 to be carried out without specialized apparatus, and paving the way for the development of new procedures. This review highlights some of the varied and significant developments associated with one of the most prominent SO2 surrogates: DABSO.1 Introduction2 DABSO3 Reactions with Nucleophilic Reagents4 Metal-Catalyzed Reactions4.1 Palladium-Catalyzed Reactions4.2 Other Transition-Metal Catalysis5 Radical Reactions5.1 Aryldiazonium Salts5.2 Other Aryl Radical Precursors5.3 Alkyl Radical Precursors6 Conclusion
