Synthesis, Structure, and Reactions of the First Stable Aromatic <i>S</i>-Nitrosothiol Bearing a Novel Dendrimer-Type Steric Protection Group

Abstract

Abstract A stable aromatic S-nitrosothiol was synthesized by taking advantage of a novel dendrimer-type steric protection group, and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Its reactions including oxidation to a stable S-nitrothiol are described.
