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 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.
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.
In organosulfur chemistry, a sulfonate is a salt, anion or ester of a sulfonic acid. Its formula is R−S(=O) 2 −O −, containing the functional group −S(=O) 2 −O −, where R is typically an organyl group, amino group or a halogen atom. Sulfonates are the conjugate bases of sulfonic acids.
Methanesulfonyl chloride (mesyl chloride) is an organosulfur compound with the formula CH 3 SO 2 Cl. Using the organic pseudoelement symbol Ms for the methanesulfonyl (or mesyl) group CH 3 SO 2 –, it is frequently abbreviated MsCl in reaction schemes or equations. It is a colourless liquid that dissolves in polar organic solvents but is ...
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.
