1,2-Dithiolane is an organosulfur compound with the formula .mw-parser-output .template-chem2-su{display:inline-block;font-size:80%;line-height:1;vertical-align:-0.35em}.mw-parser-output .template-chem2-su>span{display:block;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output sub.template-chem2-sub{font-size:80%;vertical-align:-0.35em}.mw-parser-output sup.template-chem2-sup{font-size:80%;vertical-align:0.65em}S2(CH2)3. It is also classified as a heterocycle derived from cyclopentane by replacing two methylene bridges (−CH2− units) with a disulfide group. 1,3-Dithiolane is an isomer. The parent molecule is unimportant but substituted derivatives, especially lipoic acid and its derivatives, are often essential for life. Several occur naturally.
