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 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.
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 organic chemistry, a thiol (/ ˈ θ aɪ ɒ l /; [1] from Ancient Greek θεῖον (theion) ' sulfur ' [2]), or thiol derivative, is any organosulfur compound of the form R−SH, where R represents an alkyl or other organic substituent. The −SH functional group itself is referred to as either a thiol group or a sulfhydryl group, or a ...
Thiourea (/ ˌ θ aɪ. oʊ j ʊəˈr iː. ə,-ˈ jʊər i-/) [2] [3] is an organosulfur compound with the formula SC(NH 2) 2 and the structure H 2 N−C(=S)−NH 2. It is structurally similar to urea (H 2 N−C(=O)−NH 2), with the oxygen atom replaced by sulfur atom (as implied by the thio-prefix). The properties of urea and thiourea differ ...
In chemistry, a sulfenic acid is an organosulfur compound and oxoacid with the general formula R−S−OH. It is the first member of the family of organosulfur oxoacids, which also include sulfinic acids (R−S(=O)OH) and sulfonic acids (R−S(=O) 2 OH), respectively.
Sulfolane (also tetramethylene sulfone, systematic name: 1λ 6-thiolane-1,1-dione) is an organosulfur compound, formally a cyclic sulfone, with the formula (C H 2) 4 S O 2.It is a colorless liquid commonly used in the chemical industry as a solvent for extractive distillation and chemical reactions.
Tetrahydrothiophene is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 S. The molecule consists of a five-membered saturated ring with four methylene groups and a sulfur atom. It is the saturated analog of thiophene and is therefore the sulfur analog of THF. It is a volatile, colorless liquid with an intensely unpleasant odor.
