Thiyl radicals

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In organic chemistry, thiyl radicals are reactive intermediates from the group of reactive sulfur species , which are derived from thiols (mercaptans). Under the influence of peroxides , thiols turn into reactive thiyl radicals:

Generation of thiyl radicals

Thiyl radicals are extremely electrophilic and react particularly quickly with electron-rich C = C double bonds in alkenes , such as. B. styrene or vinyl ether .
