Thial
A thial or thioaldehyde is a functional group in organic chemistry which is similar to an aldehyde, RCH, in which a sulfur atom replaces the oxygen atom of the aldehyde . Thioaldehydes are even more reactive than the thioketones...
and thioketone
Thioketone
Thioketones are organosulfur compounds related to conventional ketones. Instead of the formula R2C=O, thioketones have the formula R2C=S. Unhindered alkylthioketones are typically unstable; such compounds tend to form polymers or rings.-Preparative methods:Thiones are usually prepared from ketones...
