Sulfinylmethane or sulfine is an organic compound with molecular formula H2CSO. It is the simplest sulfine. Sulfines are chemical compounds with the general structure XY=SO.[1] IUPAC considers the term 'sulfine' obsolete,[2] preferring instead thiocarbonyl S-oxide; despite this, the use of the term sulfine still predominates in the chemical literature.
