Nomenclature of Sulfoxides and Sulfones

April 22, 2024October 31, 2022 by J.A Dobado

Written by J.A Dobado | Last Updated on April 22, 2024

They have the grouping >SO and >SO2, respectively (recommendation C-631.1). The name is constructed from the radicals attached to the sulfur, followed by the word Sulfoxide and Sulfone, respectively.
