Thioketone

Thioketones general formulae

Thioketones (also known as thiones or thiocarbonyls) are ketones. Instead of the formula R2C=O, thioketones have the formula R2C=S, which is reflected by the prefix "thio-" in the name of the functional group. Unhindered alkylthioketones typically tend to form polymers or rings.[1]

Preparative methods

Thiones are usually prepared from ketones using reagents that exchange S and O atoms. A common reagent is phosphorus pentasulfide[2] and its derivative Lawesson's reagent. Other methods uses a mixture of hydrogen chloride combined with hydrogen sulfide. Bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfide has also been employed.[3]

Thiobenzophenone and selenobenzophenone, the prototypes

Skeletal formula of thiobenzophenone

benzophenone and sulfur. Since its discovery, a variety of related thiones have been prepared.[4] Selenketones, the selenium versions of the thioketones, are more reactive than thiones.[4] Selenobenzophenone reversibly dimerizes. It is known to undergo cycloaddition with 1,3-dienes in a reaction similar to the Diels-Alder reaction.[5]
