Cyclic sulfonium salts are a class of heterocyclic compounds containing a tetravalent sulfur atom. Due to their inherent electronic deficiency, they exhibit excellent thermodynamic stability and high reactivity, and thus play a significant role in organic synthesis. In recent years, the ring-opening reactions of cyclic sulfonium salts have garnered significant attention for their application in the construction of sulfur-containing compounds, particularly through nucleophilic and free radical type ring-opening reactions. These reactions not only provide new approaches for the synthesis of diverse sulfur-containing compounds but also broaden their potential applications in drug development and functional materials. The latest research progress of ring-opening reactions of cyclic sulfonium salts is summarized, focusing on the formation reactions of C—C bond and C—heteroatom bond in nucleophilic and free radical type ring-opening reactions. The substrates scope and reaction mechanisms are discussed in detail, and the potential value of these methodologies in the synthesis of sulfur-containing compounds is also discussed.

Key words: cyclic sulfonium salt, sulfur chemistry, nucleophilic reaction, free radical reaction, photocatalysis
