sulfone
Sulfur-oxygen-carbon linkage
A sulfone is an organic compound containing a sulfur atom bonded to two oxygen atoms and two carbon-containing groups.
Sulfones appear in pharmaceuticals, polymers, and industrial chemicals.
Dapsone, used to treat leprosy, is a sulfone.
The related sulfonate has an additional oxygen, while a sulfoxide has one fewer.
