Substitute a single-quote syntax

I would like to know the correct syntax to allow me to
substitute an 
apostrophe (or single-quote) with a backslash prefix. 

The following code

s/(')/\'/g;

comments all the subsequent code until the next single-quote

character appears.

The following code does what I want, but relies on using a
memory 
variable

s/(')/\$1/g;

Thanks

This:

/(')/\'/g;

Should read:

/'/\'/g;


Removed the unnecessary paretheses.

Any ideas?
