…can also undergo enolization (thioenolization), giving isomeric enethiols, which in some cases can be isolated. Thioenolization of thioacetone would give 2-propenethiol, CH3C(SH)=CH2. Thioketones reversibly add hydrogen sulfide to yield gem-dithiols (i.e., having both ―SH groups on the same carbon)—for example, propane-2,2-dithiol, CH3C(SH)2CH3, in the case of thioacetone. It is
