Organic compounds {sulfur organic compound} can have carbon atom single-bonded to sulfur. Perhaps, mercaptan vials or rings can open if people are in danger. Bad smells repulse attackers. Splashing some on attackers is a mark hard to remove.
Organic compounds {sulfide} can have sulfur bonded between two carbons, -C-S-C-.
Two thiols can react to eliminate hydrogens from sulfurs and make sulfur-sulfur bond {disulfide bond}.
Three carbons can bond to one sulfur to give sulfur positive charge {sulfonium ion}.
Compounds {thioether} similar to ethers have sulfur atom instead of oxygen atom.
Sulfhydryl groups can replace carboxylic-acid hydroxyl groups to make thioesters. Thioesters are more reactive than esters. Thioesters can ionize {thiolate ion} to make weak bases.
Alkylbenzene-sulfonic-acid sodium salt is sulfate ester {detergent}|.
Organic compounds can have carbon atom single-bonded to sulfur atom, which is single-bonded to hydrogen atom {sulfhydryl group}, -S-H.
Sulfhydryls {thiol} {mercaptan} are similar to alcohols, but sulfur replaces oxygen. Hydrogen sulfide has rotten-egg smell. Beta-mercaptoethanol has bad smell. Thiols can be side chains. Thiols are colorless, have bad odor, are reactive, can be more acidic than alcohols or can be basic, and are oxidizable and reducible.
