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.[1] IUPAC considers the term 'sulfine' obsolete,[2] 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. One example is syn-propanethial-S-oxide which is produced from allicin and is responsible for eye-watering effects of cutting onions. Another example is diphenylsulfine, obtained by oxidation of thiobenzophenone:[3]

(C6H5)2C=S + [O] → (C6H5)2C=S=O
