functional group help!!!

it was one of the test problem and my professor circled

CH2 - S - CH3
and called it "shio ether" or something like that i can't read her hand writing and i can't find CH2-S-CH3 from any of the functional group chart.

Does anybody know what this group is called? and little bit of explanation could be wonderful.

thio ester is the same thing as an ester except with a S instead of an O.

i think its
Thio-ether

 

[jhuplaw]

i agree that it should be ether. i'm pretty sure that esters have the C-O-C bond as well as the C double bonded to an O.

Ok thanks guys.
by the way, isn't ether C-O-C without including H?
and is there any other types of ether? i mean I don't think she taught us thio ether before. She only taught us ether so it seems that there should be different sub groups of ether but I don't know what they are other than thio ether.

isn't
CH2-S-CH3 a sulfide functional group?

Sulfide functional groups is defined as an "S" attached to two carbons.
thiol is carbon attatched to an SH group and the group you wrote does not have an H attach to the S so it can't be.

Can't be ether because there's no "O" anywhere.

thioesters are r-s-co-r

ch3-s-ch3 is thioether dimethyl sulfide
