Catalytic synthesis of sulfur and phosphorus compounds via atom-economic reactions

This mini-review focuses on addition reactions, as atomeconomic reactions, employed for the preparation of organosulfur and organophosphorus compounds. For synthesis of organosulfur compounds, hydrothiolation of carbon–carbon unsaturated bonds is the primary focus. Concerning organophosphorus compounds, the main focus will be recent metal-catalyzed hydrophosphorylations, which include cyclization and bisfunctionalization reactions.
