Thiols are sulfur containing organic compounds. Allyl mercaptan is a small molecule from garlic and responsible for “garlic breath”. Its formula is C3H6S. It has been shown to be the most effective HDAC (Histone deacetylase inhibitors) inhibitor of known garlic-derived organosulfur compounds and their metabolites. Draw all possible isomers with formula C3H6S. Define among the molecules which could be optically active. Which of molecule is allyl mercaptan?

Question

Thiols are sulfur containing organic

compounds. Allyl mercaptan is a small

molecule from garlic and responsible for

“garlic breath”. Its formula is C3H6S. It has

been shown to be the most effective HDAC

(Histone deacetylase inhibitors) inhibitor of

known garlic-derived organosulfur compounds

and their metabolites. Draw all possible

isomers with formula C3H6S. Define among

the molecules which could be optically active.

Which of molecule is allyl mercaptan?
