sulfinylmethane
Sign in to saveAlso known as sulfine, sulfoxonium methylide
Sulfinylmethane or sulfine is an organic compound with molecular formula H2CSO. It is the simplest sulfine. Sulfines are chemical compounds with the general structure XY=SO. IUPAC considers the term 'sulfine' obsolete, preferring instead thiocarbonyl S-oxide; despite this, the use of the term sulfine still predominates in the chemical literature.

==Substituted sulfines== The parent sulfine H2CSO is very labile, whereas substituted derivatives are more conveniently isolated.
