Bader in 1949 and Bowman in 2009 developed a reaction between this functional group and alkynes that, in the latter case, is considered quite valuable in click chemistry.

The concentration of this functional group may be detected by the strength of the yellow color following addition of DTNB, or Ellman's reagent. Aryl examples of these compounds are synthesized from aryl diazonium chlorides in the Leuckart reaction, and others may be formed by treating a ketone with Lawesson's reagent. Coenzyme A is an example of these compounds. These compounds are common skunk spray components, and one example is the side chain of the amino acid cysteine. For 10 points, name this functional group, a sulfurous analogue of alcohols.
