The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

The construction of diverse sulfur-containing molecules is of strategic importance in synthetic programs due to their widely applications. Furthermore, sulfur shows divergent functions and potencies in different oxidative states, which has led to rich chemistry of sulfur in organic synthesis. This collection introduces sulfur chemistry in organic synthesis and the appli- cation of sulfides. Thirteen contributions are organized in this collection. Prof. Jon T. Njardarson described the analysis of 254 sulfur-containing FDA-approved drugs, which offers a unique and comprehensive overview of the structural features of sulfur-containing drugs to date. Prof. Guang-Fu Yang and co-workers discussed sulfur-containing agrochemicals, contributing a state-of-art overview of selected leading sulfur-containing pesticidal chemical families. Prof. Turan Ozturk described thiophene-based organic semiconductors, classified in terms of their chemical structures and structure–property relationships. This chapter addresses sulfides as organic photovoltaics (OPVs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Prof. Justin Chalker displayed the synthesis of polymers via inverse vulcanization and their diverse applications. An outlook is presented to show future opportunities and challenges for further advancement of polymers made by inverse vulcanization. Prof. Chin-Fa Lee summarized the recent developments in the area of C–S coupling reaction through metal catalysis and other alternative processes. Prof. Hideki Yorimitsu described C–S bond activation by transition metal complexes and accordingly catalytically synthetic reactions involving C–S bond activation in due course. Prof. Toshiaki Murai presented an overview of fundamental aspects of thiocarbonyl motifs, such as thioaldehydes and thioketones. Prof. Thomas J. J. Müller summarized ring-forming multicomponent reactions for synthesizing thiophenes and their derivatives. We focused on the methodologies reported recently for the synthesis of polysulfide-containing com- pounds, with particular emphasis on unsymmetrical disulfides. Prof. Richard Glass highlighted the exciting applications of current research involving sulfur vii viii Preface radicals in bonding theory, organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, materials science, and biochemistry. The contribution from Prof. Qian Wan covers the establishment and development of sulfoxides as glycosyl donors in glycosylation reactions, with focus on their applications and postulated mechanisms. Prof. Jian Liao discussed recently prevalent chiral sulfoxide ligands in asymmetric catalytic reactions. Prof. Nuno Maulide summarized the cutting-edge developments in transition metal-catalyzed sulfonium/sulfoxonium ylide reactions, as well as a historical pers- pective. This sulfur chemistry topical collection will be helpful and useful for the organic chemistry professionals, who wish to understand the mysteries of sulfur chemistry deeply and comprehensively at the forefront. The suitable groups can be scientist, researcher and graduate students in chemistry. Many thanks to prominent sulfur experts for their contributions to this book. I personally would like to thank the editorial staff of Topics in Current Chemistry for advising on sulfur chemistry collection, which will produce enormous function and far-reaching to influence to the community associating with sulfur.

Scott1,2 · Jon T. Njardarson1 Received: 20 November 2017 / Accepted: 5 January 2018 / Published online: 22 January 2018 © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract In this review, we discuss all sulfur-containing FDA-approved drugs and their structures. The second section of the review is dedicated to structural analy- sis and is divided into 14 subsections, each focusing on one type of sulfur-contain- ing moiety. A concise graphical representation of each class features drugs that are organized on the basis of structural similarity, evolutionary relevance, and medical indication. This review offers a unique and comprehensive overview of the struc- tural features of all sulfur-containing FDA-approved drugs to date.
