| Material Notes | Flavouring agent Thiophenol is a chemical compound with the formula C6H5SH, and sometimes abbreviated as PhSH. The foul-smelling liquid is the principal aromatic thiol. The chemical structures of thiophenols are analogous to phenols except the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to the aromatic ring is replaced by a sulfur atom. The prefix thio- implies a sulfur-containing compound and when used before a root word name for a compound which would normally contain an oxygen atom, thio- commonly means that the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom.; Thiophenols also describes a class of compounds formally derived from thiophenol itself. All have a sulfhydryl group (-SH) covalently bonded to an aromatic ring. The organosulfur ligand in medicine merthiolate is a thiophenol. |
