Number of compounds among the following which contain sulfur as a heteroatom is ___.
Compounds: Furan, Thiophene, Pyridine, Pyrrole, Cysteine, Tyrosine
Number of compounds among the following which contain sulfur as a heteroatom is ___.
Compounds: Furan, Thiophene, Pyridine, Pyrrole, Cysteine, Tyrosine
Correct Answer: 2
Solution and Explanation
The compounds containing sulfur as a heteroatom are:
- Thiophene - Contains sulfur in its five-membered aromatic ring.
- Cysteine - Contains sulfur in the form of a thiol group (-SH).
Thus, the correct count of compounds with sulfur as a heteroatom is:
So, the correct option is:2
