5. Conclusions This review highlights the recent developments in copper-catalyzed carbon-sulfur bond forming reactions. The C-S bond forming reactions serve as powerful tools in synthetic organic chemistry for the synthesis of various molecules that are of biological, pharmaceutical and material interest. Even though various other transition metals are used for catalyzing C-S cross coupling reactions, copper is found to be the most suitable one, as it is less toxic and inexpensive. This review also demonstrates the use of copper nanoparticles as an efficient catalyst for C-S cross coupling reactions.
