Modern agricultural chemistry has to support farmers by providing innovative agrochemicals. In this context, the introduction of sulfur atoms into an active ingredient is still an important tool in modulating the properties of new crop-protection compounds. More than 30% of today's agrochemicals contain at least one sulfur atom, mainly in fungicides, herbicides and insecticides. A number of recently developed sulfur-containing agrochemical candidates represent a novel class of chemical compounds with new modes of action, so we intend to highlight the emerging interest in commercially active sulfur-containing compounds. This chapter gives a comprehensive overview of selected leading sulfur-containing pesticidal chemical families namely: sulfonylureas, sulfonamides, sulfur-containing heterocyclics, thioureas, sulfides, sulfones, sulfoxides and sulfoximines. Also, the most suitable large-scale synthetic methods of the recently launched or provisionally approved sulfur-containing agrochemicals from respective chemical families have been highlighted.
现代农业化学必须通过提供创新的农用化学品来支持农民。在这种情况下，将硫原子引入有效成分仍然是调节新型作物保护化合物性能的重要工具。目前，超过 30%的农用化学品至少含有一个硫原子，主要是在杀菌剂、除草剂和杀虫剂中。一些最近开发的含硫农用化学候选物代表了一类具有新作用模式的新型化合物，因此我们打算强调人们对商业上活跃的含硫化合物的新兴兴趣。本章全面概述了选定的主要含硫农用化学品家族，即：磺酰脲类、磺胺类、含硫杂环类、硫脲类、硫化物、砜类、亚砜类和亚砜亚胺类。此外，还突出了各自化学家族中最近推出或临时批准的含硫农用化学品的最适合的大规模合成方法。
