Abstract

Reactions of thiols in thio-click coupling processes with various reactive systems (including carbohydrates) are compiled. A selection of simple and complex thiols in stereoselective and non-stereoselective approaches recognizing their reactivity is also reviewed. Solvents, employed in the discussed processes including water, are briefly discussed as well.
