K. Goto et al., Synthesis and crystal structure of a stable S-nitrosothiol bearing a novelsteric protection group and of the corresponding S-nitrothiol, TETRAHEDR L, 41(44), 2000, pp. 8479-8483
The molecular structure of a stable S-nitrosothiol bearing a novel trityl-t
ype steric protection group was established by X-ray crystallographic analy
sis together with that of the corresponding S-nitrothiol. It was found that
the S-nitrosothiol exists as a mixture of the syn and anti isomers with re
spect to the C-S-N-O linkage in the crystalline state, in agreement with th
e theoretical calculation on Ph3CSNO. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All ri
