A '''geminal dithiol''' (or '''gem-dithiol''' for short) is an [[organosulfur compound]] having two [[thiol]] [[functional groups]] (-[[sulfur|S]][[hydrogen|H]]) [[covalent bond|bound]] to the same [[carbon]] atom. The simplest geminal dithiol is methanediol H<sub>2</sub>C(SH)<sub>2</sub> <!-6725-64-0-->. Such compounds are formed when aldehydes and ketones are treated with [[hydrogen sulfide]] under pressure. The reaction competes with formation of [[trithiane]]s. Once formed, gen-dithiols are stable under ordinary conditions.<ref></ref>
