Tioliryhmää
Tioliryhmää is a term used in Finnish to refer to a group of sulfur-containing organic compounds. These compounds are characterized by the presence of a thiol functional group, which consists of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom (-SH). Thiols are structurally similar to alcohols, where the sulfur atom replaces the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group (-OH).
The properties of thiols are often distinct from their alcohol counterparts. They typically have stronger, more
In organic chemistry, thiols play various roles. They can participate in oxidation reactions to form disulfides
Beyond the laboratory, sulfur-containing organic compounds are found in nature. For example, some amino acids, like
