31. A copper-based oxidation catalyst neutralizes the volatile thiols and transforms them into inert products. 32. Au nanoparticles have been linked to acid treated CNTs by aminothiols, bifunctional thiols or thioether bonds. 33. With a pK a of 2.68, it is one of the most acidic thiols . 34. Reaction with alkoxides or aroxides give ethers in the Williamson ether synthesis; reaction with thiols give thioethers. 35. It is soluble in dimethylformamide ( DMF ) or buffer above pH 6 and reacts primarily with thiols . 36. The particular stability of the mercury bond can be attributed to the linear position of the two thiols . 37. These compounds react readily with nucleophiles like water, alcohols, amines, thiols , and Grignard reagents. 38. The OSTE resins are cured via a rapid thiol-ene Click reaction between thiols and allyls. 39. Diethyl sulfate is used as an alkylating agent to prepare ethyl derivatives of phenols, amines, and thiols . 40. Due to its diminished vapor pressure, its odor, while unpleasant, is less objectionable than related thiols .
