Desaurins are a type of sulfur-containing heterocycle. The parent is 2,4-bismethylene-1,3-dithietane. They are derived from the base-promoted condensation of carbon disulfide with "active methylene" compounds:[1]
- 2 Z2CH2 + 2 CS2 → Z2C=CS2C=CZ2 + 2 H2S
According to X-ray crystallography, the C4S2 core of desaurins is planar.[2] With unsymmetrical substitution (at the ends of the methylene groups), they can exist as separable cis and trans isomers.
