In the present review, we discuss recent progress in the field of C–Z bond formation
reactions (Z= S, Se, Te) catalyzed by transition metals. Two complementary methodologies …

The presence of aryl sulfides in biologically active compounds has resulted in the
development of new methods to form carbon-sulfur bonds. The synthesis of aryl sulfides via …

The first general methodology for the direct thiolation of electron‐rich heteroarenes was
developed by employing Pd/Al2O3, a recoverable and commercially available …

A general palladium-catalyzed aryl (alkyl) thiolation of various substituted unactivated
arenes is accomplished for the synthesis of diverse unsymmetrical diaryl (alkyl) sulfides in …

A transition-metal-free synthetic method has been developed for the synthesis of
unsymmetrical diaryl chalcogenides (S, Se, and Te) from diaryl dichalcogenides and arenes …

Polystyrene (PS) is one of the least recycled large‐volume commodity plastics due to
bulkiness of foam products and associated contaminants. PS recycling is also severely …

Quinolones are considered as a big family of multi-faceted drugs; their chemical synthesis is
flexible and can be easily adapted to prepare new congeners with rationally devised …

Electrochemical oxidative C–H/S–H cross-coupling has been developed to construct the C–
S bond in a highly straightforward and efficient manner. Various enamines and (hetero) aryl …

The first C–S bond formation/cross-coupling/cyclization domino reaction using thiourea as a
cheap and easy to handle dihydrosulfide surrogate has been developed. Structurally …

We disclose a metal-free, iodine-catalyzed oxidative C–H sulfenylation and selenation of
alkenes, particularly 1, 1-diarylethenes with diorganyl dichalcogenides in water for the cost …
