THIOLS AND SULFIDES
Thiols:
one word R1-SH
1) long-alkyl root = R1-
suffix –thiol
1) long-alkyl root = R1-
suffix –thiol
e.g CH3(CH2)3SH ̃
1-butanethiol
Sulphides: one word R1-S-R2
a) short alkyl chain = R2 + thio
b) long-alkane root = R1
1-butanethiol
Sulphides: one word R1-S-R2
a) short alkyl chain = R2 + thio
b) long-alkane root = R1
e.g CH3SC2H5 ̃ methylthioethane
(or ethyl methyl
sulphide)
(N.B. –SH is also referred to as the mercapto
group. Skunk scent is butyl mercaptan )
group. Skunk scent is butyl mercaptan )
