Thioacetone (Wiki)
Thioacetone is an organosulfur compound known for its extremely unpleasant odor and instability at higher temperatures. It can be isolated only at low temperatures and readily converts to a polymer and trimer above -20 °C. First synthesized in 1889, thioacetone is primarily obtained by cracking its cyclic trimer, trithioacetone.
