Aliphatic silyl thioketones containing an α-hydrogen atom undergo enethiolization to-α-silyl enethiols 2. Compounds 2 react with a variety of halides RX to give open-chain α-silyl vinyl sulfides 3. Protiodesilylation of 3 was achieved upon treatment with fluoride ion to give vinyl sulfides 4. Reaction of 3 with Gr
