C6H5S
C6H5S is the chemical formula for a radical species containing a phenyl group attached to a sulfur atom. This structure is commonly referred to as the phenylthio radical. It is an organic radical, meaning it possesses an unpaired electron, making it highly reactive. The phenylthio radical is an intermediate in various chemical reactions, particularly those involving the cleavage of sulfur-carbon bonds or reactions initiated by thiophenol (C6H5SH).
The formation of the phenylthio radical can occur through homolytic cleavage of a C-S bond or through
The phenylthio radical plays a role in organic synthesis, particularly in radical chain reactions such as polymerization
