Chemistry Organic Building Blocks Sulfoxides
In organic chemistry, a sulfoxide, also known as a sulphoxide, is an organosulfur compound that contains a sulfinyl (>SO) functional group attached to two carbon atoms. Sulfoxides are polar functional groups.
Sulfoxides are compounds that are derived from sulfides through oxidation, typically involving the conversion of a sulfur atom from its reduced state (S) to its oxidized state (S+).
Examples of significant sulfoxides include alliin, which is a precursor to the compound responsible for the distinctive odor of freshly crushed garlic, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which is a widely used solvent in various chemical and biological applications.
Chiral sulfoxides that are found in nature include alliin and ajoene.
