Thiete is a heterocyclic compound containing an unsaturated four-membered ring with three carbon atoms and one sulfur atom. It is more commonly encountered not on its own but in anellated derivatives several of which have been synthesized and as its 11-dioxides. Thietes themselves are generally not very stable. Thiete 11-dioxides are more stable than thietes themselves and can be prepared by [2+2] cycloaddition of sulfenes and ynamines.
