Abstract
Sulfenamides are organosulfur compounds that contain a single bond between nitrogen and sulfur in their structures. Sulfur can react with nucleophiles to yield new compounds. The compounds having nitrogen–sulfur bonds are used in polymers for a variety of purposes, including medicines, agrochemicals, veterinary medications, and environmental studies. This review will examine several chemical reactions that lead to sulfenamide production as well as how they are used in cell biology and biochemical applications.
