The synthesis and transformation of organosulfur compounds hold significant theoretical and practical value. However, the coverage of organosulfur compounds in fundamental organic chemistry textbooks is limited. This article begins with a brief overview of the key concepts related to organosulfur compounds as presented in the basic organic chemistry course. It then compares and discusses recent advancements in the electrochemical transformations of these compounds. This study aims to enhance the understanding of chemistry major students regarding the cutting-edge developments in organic electrochemistry as it pertains to organosulfur chemistry.
