alküülivaatsed
Alküülivaatsed refers to a class of chemical compounds characterized by the presence of an alkyl group directly attached to a sulfur atom. These compounds are also known as alkyl thioethers or sulfides. The general formula for a simple alkyl thioether is R-S-R', where R and R' represent alkyl groups, which can be the same or different. The sulfur atom in these molecules typically exhibits a bent geometry.
Alkyl thioethers are formed through various synthetic routes, often involving the reaction of an alkyl halide
The properties of alkyl thioethers vary depending on the size and structure of the attached alkyl groups.
In terms of reactivity, the sulfur atom in alkyl thioethers can undergo oxidation to form sulfoxides (R-S(O)-R')
Alkyl thioethers have found applications as solvents, intermediates in organic synthesis, and in some cases, as
