This review focuses on the synthesis and reactivity of thioketone S ‐oxides (sulfines). Sulfines have been long established as being reactive intermediates of high interest and with potential for wide application in organic synthesis. The review will cover many aspects of sulfines: the first section looks at the different routes to the synthesis of these compounds with a detailed look at more recently developed routes; the second section details the scope of reactivity of these types of compounds and how they are useful in synthetic organic chemistry with a particular look at cycloaddition and nucleophilic addition reactions.
