Dihydrothiophenes are heterocyclic organosulfur compounds. Two isomers are possible for the parent C4H6S:
2,3-Dihydrothiophene, a vinyl thioether. CAS RN = 1120-59-8. 2,5-Dihydrothiophene, an allylic thioether. A well-known derivative is 2,5-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide. CAS RN = 1708-32-3. Depending on the substituents, some dihydrothiophenes are called 4,5-dihydrothiophenes.
