Chemical compound
Thioacetone is an organosulfur compound belonging to the -thione group called thioketones with a chemical formula (CH3)2CS. It is an unstable orange or brown substance that can be isolated only at low temperatures.[3] Above −20 °C (−4 °F), thioacetone readily converts to a polymer and a trimer, trithioacetone.[4] It has an extremely potent, unpleasant odor, and is considered one of the worst-smelling chemicals known to humanity.[5]
Thioacetone was first obtained in 1889 by Baumann and Fromm, as a minor impurity in their synthesis of trithioacetone.[2]
