  "term": "Sultines",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A class of heterocyclic organosulfur compounds that are cyclic esters of a sulfinic acid. They are analogous to lactones, which are cyclic esters of carboxylic acids, but contain a sulfur atom in place of a carbonyl carbon. The characteristic functional group within the ring is -S(=O)-O-, formed by the intramolecular condensation of a hydroxysulfinic acid.",
