Some sulfides are named by modifying the common name for the corresponding ether. For example, C 6 H 5 SCH 3 is methyl phenyl sulfide, but is more commonly called thioanisole, since its structure is related to that for anisole, C 6 H 5 OCH 3. The modern systematic nomenclature in chemistry for the trival name thioether is sulfane. [2]
Akin to the chemistry of alcohols, thiols form sulfides, thioacetals, and thioesters, which are analogous to ethers, acetals, and esters respectively. Thiols and alcohols are also very different in their reactivity, thiols being more easily oxidized than alcohols. Thiolates are more potent nucleophiles than the corresponding alkoxides.
Thiophenol is an organosulfur compound with the formula C 6 H 5 SH, sometimes abbreviated as PhSH. This foul-smelling colorless liquid is the simplest aromatic thiol.The chemical structures of thiophenol and its derivatives are analogous to phenols, where the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to the aromatic ring in phenol is replaced by a sulfur atom.
Some metal sulfides, when exposed to a strong mineral acid, including gastric acids, will release toxic hydrogen sulfide. Organic sulfides are highly flammable. When a sulfide burns it produces sulfur dioxide (SO 2) gas. Hydrogen sulfide, some of its salts, and almost all organic sulfides have a strong and putrid stench; rotting biomass ...

Thioesters can be prepared by condensation of thiols and carboxylic acids in the presence of dehydrating agents: [2] [3] RSH + R'CO 2 H → RSC(O)R' + H 2 O. A typical dehydration agent is DCC. [4] Efforts to improve the sustainability of thioester synthesis have also been reported utilising safer coupling reagent T3P and greener solvent ...
General chemical structure of a thioenol. In organic chemistry, thioenols (also known as alkenethiols) are alkenes with a thiol group (−SH) affixed to one of the carbon atoms composing the double bond (i.e. C=C−SH).
