Triphenylmethanethiol
Triphenylmethanethiol is an organosulfur compound with the formula 3CSH. It is the thiol derivative of the bulky substituent triphenylmethyl.
The compound forms a number of unusual derivatives that are more stable than less bulky analogues. The sulfenyl chloride 3CSCl is obtained from the thiol with sulfuryl chloride. It in turn reacts with ammonia to form the sulfenamide 3CSNH2. The thiol reacts with nitrous acid to give S-nitrosotriphenylmethanethiol 3CSNO.
