“…This Minireview has discussed catalytic carbonylation and carboxylation of the CÀSb onds of organosulfur compounds with CO (or its equivalents) and CO 2 .B ecause of the inertness and catalyst-poisonous charactero fC ÀSb onds, such carbonylative transformations require harsh reaction conditions and/orf airly reactives ubstrates. Recently,s ulfonium salts are emerginga s satisfyingly general, sufficiently reactive,a nd readily accessible electrophilic coupling partnersm ainly by the contributions of Ritter, [19,24] Procter, [20a,d, 25] Zhang [26] and us. [18, 20c, 23, 27] As shown in Schemes 17-22, several carbonylative transformationso fh igh versatility have been also developed.…”
