  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012013",
  "term": "Thiohemiacetals",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds formed by the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with a thiol, resulting in a functional group containing a carbon atom bonded to an alkyl or aryl group, a hydrogen atom (for aldehydes) or another alkyl/aryl group (for ketones), a hydroxyl group, and a thiol group. They are sulfur analogues of hemiacetals. These intermediates are often unstable and readily convert to more stable products.",
