Abstract Vicinal dibromination of alkenes is a fundamentally important transformation in organic synthesis, as vicinal dibromides are prevalent motifs in bioactive molecules and serve as indispensable intermediates across chemical synthesis. Despite extensive advances in thermal, photochemical, and electrochemical dibromination, the development of efficient and practical dibromination methods using inexpensive and readily available bromine sources remains highly desirable.

Sulfuration of Unreactive C-H Bonds The sulfuration of unreactive carbon-hydrogen bonds stands as one of the significant breakthroughs in organic synthetic chemistry in recent years. This methodology enables efficient construction of C-S bonds through direct activation of high bond energy C-H bonds, substantially enhancing both synthetic efficiency and atom economy for sulfur-containing compounds.
