2,4-Dithiapentane is an organosulfur compound, and is the simplest alkyl dithioether. It is a colorless liquid with a strong odor, reminiscent of freshly prepared mustard in the pure form.
2,4-Dithiapentane is the dimethyldithioacetal of formaldehyde. Its synthesis was first reported in 1941. It is industrially prepared by the acid-catalyzed condensation of methyl mercaptan, the main aromatic compound in both halitosis and foot odor and a secondary compound in flatulence, with formaldehyde. 2 CH3SH + H2C=O → CH3SCH2SCH3 + H2O
