Chemistry:4-Nitrothiophenol

From HandWiki

4-Nitrothiophenol is an organosulfur compound with the formula HSC
6
H
4
NO

. It exists as a yellow solid that is soluble in several organic solvents. It is one of three isomers of nitrothiophenol. It was originally prepared by sulfidation of 4-nitrochlorobenzene,[1] which was improved by intentionally generating a polysulfide intermediate.[2] 4-Nitrothiophenol is closely related to thiophenol but more acidic.

The compound reacts with chlorine to give 4-nitrophenylsulfenyl chloride, a useful reagent.[3] It has also been used as a probe of plasmon-induced reactions.[4]
