Dithietane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dithietanes are saturated heterocyclic compounds that contain two sulfur atoms and two sp3-hybridized carbon centers. Two isomers are possible for this class of organosulfur compounds, 1,2-dithietanes, where the sulfur atoms are adjacent, and 1,3-dithietanes, where the sulfur atoms are not adjacent. An example of a 1,3-dithietane is [(CF3)2CS]2.[1]
