1,3,5-Trithiane is the chemical compound with the formula (CH2S)3. This heterocycle is the cyclic trimer of the otherwise unstable species thioformaldehyde. It consists of a six-membered ring with alternating methylene and thioether groups. It is prepared by treatment of formaldehyde with hydrogen sulfide. [Bost, R. W.; Constable, E. W. "sym-Trithiane" Organic Syntheses, Collected Volume 2, p.610 (1943). http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/pdfs/CV2P0610.pdf]

Trithiane is a building block molecule in organic synthesis, being a masked source of formaldehyde. In one application, it is deprotonated with organolithium reagents to give the lithium derivative, which in turn can be alkylated. [Seebach, D.; Beck, A. K. “Aldehydes From "sym"-Ttrithiane: "n"-Pentadecanal” Organic Syntheses, Collected Volume 6, p.869 (1988). http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/pdfs/CV6P0869.pdf] :(CH2S)3 + RLi → (CH2S)2(CHLiS) + RH:(CH2S)2(CHLiS) + R’Br → (CH2S)2(CHR’S) + LiBr:(CH2S)2(CHR’S) + H2O → R’CHO + ….Trithiane is the dithioacetal of formaldehyde. Other dithioacetals undergo similar reactions to the above.

It is also a precursor to other organosulfur reagents. For example, chlorination in the presence of water affords the chloromethylsulfonyl chloride: [Paquette, L. A.; Wittenbrook, L. S. “2-Chlorothiirane 1,1-Dioxide” Organic Syntheses, Collected Volume 5, p.231 (1973). http://www.orgsyn.org/orgsyn/pdfs/CV5P0231.pdf] :(CH2S)3 + 9 Cl2 + 6 H2O → 3 ClCH2SO2Cl + 12 HCl
