The book “Aromatic Thiols and Their Derivatives” edited by academician RAS Mikhail Egorov, co-authored by head of the Department of Baku State University, Professor Ismail Aliyev, Senior Researcher of the Irkutsk Institute of Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences Ludmila Oparina and Scientific Director of the Irkutsk Institute of Chemistry RAS, Professor Boris Trofimov was published.

The monograph is devoted to the topical aspects of the chemistry and physical chemistry of aromatic thiols and their closest derivatives, sulfides, sulfoxides, sulfones, including those substituted by various functional groups such as acyl and thioacyl, alkoxide, ester, hydroxyl, and halogens. In some cases, for comparison, selenium and tellurium analogues are discussed. The main attention is paid to synthetic methods, both traditional (classical) and new, based on the use of transition metals as catalysts, as well as to the reactivity of the compounds obtained. At the end of each chapter, examples of syntheses and reactions of the most important representatives of aromatic thiols and their derivatives are given. A considerable part of the book deals with theoretical issues related to the effects of conjugation of a sulfur atom in different valencies with the neighboring aromatic structures. The influence of conformational and electronic factors on spectral (NMR, IR, UV, NQR) and electrochemical characteristics of the compounds under study, the effect of substituents and the transmission of their influence through aromatic fragments bonded with the sulfur atom are analyzed. A separate chapter is dedicated to application of aromatic thiols and their derivatives as drug precursors, high-tech materials, building blocks for organic synthesis, analytical reagents and additives for oils and fuels.

The monograph will attract the attention of synthetic chemists, experts in the field of physical organic chemistry, polymerization, and pharmacology. It will be of interest for engineers and businessmen dealing with the problem of utilization of elemental sulfur, and will be useful for teachers, graduate students and students of chemical faculties of universities.
