context_page_description: A sulfenic acid is an organosulfur compound and oxoacid with the general formula RSOH. It is the first member of the family of organosulfur oxoacids, which also include sulfinic acids and sulfonic acids, RSO₂H and RSO₃H, respectively. The base member of the sulfenic acid series with R = H is hydrogen thioperoxide.
