organosulfur compound
Organosulfur compounds are organic compounds that contain sulfur. They are often associated with foul odors, but many of the sweetest compounds known are organosulfur derivatives, e.g., saccharin. Nature abounds with organosulfur compounds—sulfu ...
s with the formula RSO
2SR'. Thiosulfonate esters are produced by oxidation of
disulfides or by the reaction or organosulfonyl halides with thiolates.
Alkali metal thiosulfonates are the conjugate base of thiosulfuric acid. They are prepared by the reaction of organo
sulfonyl chlorides with sources of sulfide.

In organosulfur chemistry, a Bunte salt is an archaic name for salts with the formula RSSO3–Na+. They are also called S-alkylthiosulfates or S-arylthiosulfates. These compounds are typically derived from alkylation on the pendant sulfur of sodi ...
