Thioether skeletons are widely present in drugs, natural products, functional materials, and life science. In the past decade, selective C–H functionalization of thioethers has been extensively studied to construct novel thioether derivatives. This mini-review systematically introduces recent advances field direct α-C(sp3)-H thioethers.
