Abstract The introduction of sulfur atoms onto target molecules is an important area in organic synthesis, in particular in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, and a wide variety of sulfuration agents have been developed for thionation reactions over the past few decades. In this Focus Review, we collect and summarize the CS bond‐formation reactions that have been used to construct CS bonds in natural products and pharmaceutical compounds.
