Title: New aspects of the chemistry of CS<sub>2</sub>: synthesis of mercapto-triorganosilyl-thiones by use of tris(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium
Abstract: AbstractTris(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium (TsiLi) reacts with CS2 via cleavage of the C=S double bond and unexpected rearrangement to give sulfur-containing organosilicon compounds. The intermediate, from the reaction between TsiLi and CS2 is not stable but it has been trapped by various alkyl halides to give mercaptobis-(trimethylsilyl)-thiones. These reactions are quantitative and high yields in short periods of time have been obtained.Keywords: organosilicon-sulfurtris(trimethylsilyl)methyllithiumcarbon disulfidemercapto-trimethylsilyl-thionealkyl halide AcknowledgementWe thank Dr J.D.
