    Thiol Nomenclature: "Thiols"

    The document discusses nomenclature rules for thiols and related compounds. - Thiols are named by adding the suffix "-thiol" to the parent chain containing the -SH group. Common names use "mercaptan" after the alkyl group bonded to sulfur. - The prefix "mercapto-" is used when -SH is not the principal group to denote an unsubstituted -SH. - Salts of thiols are named analogously to salts of alcohols, replacing "olate" with "thiolate" or "oxide" with "sulfide".

    Thiol Nomenclature

    the parent is the longest chain that contains the -SH group

    the IUPAC suffix is -thiol

    Common names: name the alkyl group bonded to sulfur followed by the word mercaptan
    example: 2-butanethiol or sec-butyl mercaptan

    Thiols and Related Compounds

    Thiols Rule:
    511.1- Compounds containing -SH as the principal group directly attached to carbon are named
    "thiols". In substitutive nomenclature their names are formed by adding "-thiol" as a suffix to the
    name of the parent compound. When -SH is not the principal group, the prefix "mercapto-" is
    placed before the name of the parent compound to denote an unsubstituted -SH group.
    Note: "Thiol" is not to be confused with "thiole" which denotes a five-membered ring
    embodying one sulfur atom.

    Examples to Rule C-511.1

    511.2 - The use of "thio-" prefixed to the trivial name of a phenol, indicating replacement of the
    hydroxylic oxygen by sulfur, may be continued in simple instances, but the nomenclature of Rule
    C-511.1 is preferred.
    Examples to Rule C-511.2

    511.3 - Salts of thiols are named analogously to salts of hydroxy compounds, with "thiolate" in
    place of "olate", or "sulfide" in place of "oxide".
    Example to Rule C-511.3

    511.4 - When "mercapto-" is used as a prefix in the name of a thiol the salts of the latter are
    named by use of the prefix "sulfido-" for
    Example to Rule C-511.4

    Disodium p-sulfidobenzenesulfonate

    511.5 When radicofunctional nomenclature is used for a compound RSH, the name of the
    radical R is followed by the functional class name hydrosulfide.
    Example to Rule C-511.5

    Ethyl Hydrosulfide
