Thiosulfonates are
organosulfur compounds with the formula RSO2SR'. Thiosulfonate esters are produced by oxidation of
disulfides or the nucleophilic attack of
thiolates on organosulfonyl halides.[1]
Alkali metal thiosulfonates are the conjugate base of thiosulfuric acid. They are prepared by the reaction of organo
sulfonyl chlorides with sources of sulfide.[1][2]
Thiosulfinate a structurally analogous functional group in a lower oxidation state, with the formula RSS(O)R
