Organosulfur chemistry is the study of the properties and synthesis of organosulfur compounds, which are organic compounds that contain sulfur. [1] They are often associated with foul odors, but many of the sweetest compounds known are organosulfur derivatives, e.g., saccharin. Nature is abound with organosulfur compounds—sulfur is vital for ...
In organosulfur chemistry, organosulfates are a class of organic compounds sharing a common functional group with the structure R−O−SO − 3. The SO 4 core is a sulfate group and the R group is any organic residue. All organosulfates are formally esters derived from alcohols and sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) although many are not prepared in ...
In organosulfur chemistry, S-oxide may refer to: S-oxides of disulfides, compounds with the linkage RSS(O)R. Several 1,2-dithiolanes for S-oxides. S-oxides of thioketones and thioaldehydes, compounds with the formula R 2 C=S=O and RCH=S=O, respectively. [1] syn-Propanethial-S-oxide, a lacrymatory component of onion, is one example.
In organosulfur chemistry, a Bunte salt is an archaic name for salts with the formula RSSO 3 – Na +. They are also called S-alkylthiosulfates or S-arylthiosulfates. [1] These compounds are typically derived from alkylation on the pendant sulfur of sodium thiosulfate: [2] [3] RX + Na 2 S 2 O 3 → Na[O 3 S 2 R] + NaX
In organic chemistry, a sulfide (British English sulphide) or thioether is an organosulfur functional group with the connectivity R−S−R' as shown on right. Like many other sulfur-containing compounds, volatile sulfides have foul odors. [1] A sulfide is similar to an ether except that it contains a sulfur atom in place of the oxygen.
Treatment of sulfur with hydrogen gives hydrogen sulfide.When dissolved in water, hydrogen sulfide is mildly acidic: [5] H 2 S ⇌ HS − + H +. Hydrogen sulfide gas and the hydrosulfide anion are extremely toxic to mammals, due to their inhibition of the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin and certain cytochromes in a manner analogous to cyanide and azide.
Phenylsulfinic acid is an organosulfur compound with the formula C 6 H 5 SO 2 H. It is a colorless or white crystalline solid that is usually stored in the form of its sodium salt. In aqueous solution it is strongly acidic and is easily oxidized in air. Phenylsulfinic acid and its esters are chiral.
In organosulfur chemistry, thiosulfinate is a functional group consisting of the linkage R-S(O)-S-R (R refers to organic substituents). Thiolsulfinates are also named as alkanethiosulfinic (or arenethiosulfinic) acid esters.
