Sulfonyl group
(Redirected from Nosyl)
In organosulfur chemistry, a sulfonyl group is either a functional group found primarily in sulfones, or a substituent obtained from a sulfonic acid by the removal of the hydroxyl group, similarly to acyl groups.[1]: 1470–1476
Group
[edit]Sulfonyl groups can be written as having the general formula R−S(=O)2−R′, where there are two double bonds between the sulfur and oxygen.[1]: 53 [2]
Sulfonyl groups can be reduced to the sulfide with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBALH). Lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4) reduces some but not all sulfones to sulfides.[1]: 1851
In inorganic chemistry, when the group −S(=O)2− is not connected to any carbon atoms, it is referred to as sulfuryl.[3]
Examples of sulfonyl group substituents
[edit]The names of sulfonyl groups typically end in -syl, such as:[1]: 497
