Thioacrolein, also known as thioacrylaldehyde or prop-2-enethial, is a member of the class of compounds known as thioaldehydes. Thioaldehydes are an organic compounds in which the oxygen of an aldehyde has been replaced by divalent sulfur, RC(=S)H. Thioaldehydes interconvert with thioketones. Thioacrolein can be found in a number of food items such as nutmeg, cabbage, common walnut, and chinese broccoli, which makes thioacrolein a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
