Sulfonanilide



In organic chemistry, a sulfonanilide group is a functional group found in certain organosulfur compounds. It possesses the chemical structure R\sS(\dO)2\sN(\sC6H5)\sR', and consists of a sulfonamide group (R\sS(\dO)2\sNR'R") where one of the two nitrogen substituents (R' or R") is a phenyl group (C6H5). It can be viewed as a derivative of aniline (C6H5NH2).
