The present minireview provides a survey of literature reports on the application of 3,3,3-trifluoropropene derivatives bearing sulfurcontaining functional groups at positions 1 or 2 in the synthesis of functionalized five-membered heterocycles -pyrroles, pyrrolines, pyrrolidines, tetrahydrothiophenes, pyrazoles, pyrazolines, pyrazolidines, isoxazoles, isoxazolines, isoxazolidines, and triazoles via [3+2] cycloaddition reactions with 1,3-dipolarophiles.
