A dithiolane is a sulfur heterocycle derived from cyclopentane by replacing two methylene bridges (-CH
2- units) with thioether groups. The parent compounds are 1,2-dithiolane and 1,3-dithiolane.

1,2-Dithiolanes are cyclic disulfides. Some dithiolanes are natural products[1] that can be found in foods, such as asparagusic acid in asparagus.[2] The 4-dimethylamino derivative nereistoxin was the inspiration for insecticides which act by blocking the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.[3] Lipoic acid is essential for aerobic metabolism in mammals and also has strong affinity with many metals including gold, molybdenum, and tungsten.[4] Other 1,2-dithiolanes have relevance in nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles or TMDs (MoS2 and WS2).[5][6][7]

  • asparagusic acid

  • nereistoxin, from which insecticides including cartap and bensultap were derived

  • lipoic acid

1,3-Dithiolanes are important as protecting groups for carbonyl compounds, since they are inert to a wide range of conditions. Reacting a carbonyl group with 1,2-ethanedithiol converts it to a 1,3-dithiolane, as detailed below.
