Sodium　sulfinates　have　been　widely　utilized　as　sulfonyl　radical　precursors　for　preparing　a　diverse　array　of　value-added　sulfur-containing　compounds　(sulfones,　sulfona-mides,　sulfonates,　thiosulfonates,　etc.)　through　S-C,　S-N,　S-O　and　S-S　bonds　formation　re-actions.　Organic　electrosynthesis　has　become　an　attractive　alternative　to　conventional　methods　for　redox　reactions　because　it　utilizes　electric　current　instead　of　chemical　redox　agents.　As　such,　the　electrochemical　generation　of　sulfonyl　radicals　from　sodium　sulfinates　and　their　applications　in　organic　electrosynthesis　have　attracted　much　attention.　In　this　review,　the　recent　advances　in　the　electrochemical　sulfonylation　of　organic　compounds　involving　sodium　sulfinates　as　sulfonyl　radical　precursors　since　2015　were　reviewed,　along　with　related　reaction　mechanisms.　©　2024　Bentham　Science　Publishers.
