Abstract
This review deals with synthesis of thiophosphinic acids. Some of these reactions have been applied successfully to the synthesis of chemically or biologically interesting compounds. The main purpose of this review is to cover the literature on thiophosphinic acids from the first report up to date since such compounds have not been previously reviewed.
