Abstract

Trithiocarbonates are an important class of organic compounds that have found a wide range of application in industrial and medical chemistry. They have been employed as key precursors, intermediates, or protecting groups for thiol functionality in organic synthesis. In this review, various reported methods in the literature for the synthesis of symmetrical, unsymmetrical, and cyclic trithiocarbonates are discussed.
