Thiosulfonates are organosulfur compounds with the formula RSO2SR'. The parent member CH3SO2SCH3 is a colorless liquid.
Thiosulfonate esters are usually produced by oxidation of disulfides or the nucleophilic attack of thiolates on organosulfonyl halides.[1] The simplest thiosulfonate, CH3SO2SCH3 can however be prepared from dimethyl sulfoxide by treatment with oxalyl chloride.[2]
Alkali metal thiosulfonates are the conjugate base of thiosulfuric acid. They are prepared by the reaction of organosulfonyl chlorides with sources of sulfide.[1][3]
Oxidation with mCPBA gives disulfones.[1]
