Abstract: 
We report the isolation of hydroxy mercapto methylene (HO-(C)over dot-SH) under cryogenic conditions via pyrolysis of 2-ethoxy-2-thioxo-acetic acid. The two most stable carbene rotamers form via extrusion of ethylene and CO2 from this precursor. This donorstabilized carbene represents a hitherto uncharacterized CH2SO species and the first spectroscopically characterized free mercapto carbene. CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ computations support our findings.
