Recent progress on the borylation of organosulfur compounds via C−S activation

In this review, we intend to summarize the recent developments in the field of desulfurative borylation of organosulfur compounds since the initial discovery. Depending on the type of starting materials, the review has been divided into six major sections: desulfurative borylation of (i) sulfides; (ii) sulfonium salts; (iii) sodium arylsulfinates, (iv) sulfoxides, (v) sulfones; and (vi) dibenzothiophenes.
