tosyl

English

Etymology

From toluene + sulfonyl.

Noun

tosyl (plural tosyls)

  1. (organic chemistry, especially in combination) toluenesulfonyl, phenylmethylsulfonyl

Usage notes

Often abbreviated "Ts", but this conflicts with Ts = tennessine. This will be especially a problem if and when a means of mass-producing tennessine is invented.
