Sulfoxonium ylides are highly stable carbene precursors, serving as a safer alternative to diazo compounds as they that do not generate gases as byproducts. Sulfoxonium ylides have been shown to be effective in a wide array of transition metal catalyzed C-H functionalization and coupling reactions.

A ruthenium-catalysed cross-olefination of diazo compounds and sulfoxonium ylides is presented. Our reaction design exploits the intrinsic difference in reactivity of diazo compounds and sulfoxonium ylides as both carbene precursors and nucleophiles, which results in a highly selective reaction.
A general, mild, and versatile synthesis of the challenging α-aryl-β-ketosulfoxonium ylides has been developed for the first time, substituting traditional methods starting from diazo compounds. The arylation of easily accessible β-ketosulfoxonium ylides using aryne chemistry allowed the preparation of a
Direct and efficient synthesis of 1-naphthols has been realized via Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation of sulfoxonium ylides and subsequent annulation with alkynes, where the sulfoxonium ylide functioned as a new traceless bifunctional directing group. This reaction occurred under redox-neutral conditions with
Ellman group developed electron-rich phosphine ligands for C-H functionalization and tert-Butanesulfinamide for asymmetric amine synthesis.
