Sulfenic acid



 

A sulfenic acid is an organosulfur compound and oxoacid with the general formula RSOH, where R ≠ H. Sulfenic acids are generally unstable. An example of a sulfenic acid is benzenesulfenic acid, PhSOH.

The prefix sulfenic in organic nomenclature denotes the RS group (R≠H), for instance an arylsulfenylpyrrole Ar-S-Py [1].
