Abstract

Abstract Tris (trimethylsilyl) methanethiol, prepared from tris (trimethylsilyl) methane, can be easily converted into bis (trimethylsilyl) methanethiol and this to bis (trimethylsilyl) methyl alkanethiosulfinate esters; the latter upon heating afford alkyl trimethylsilyldithioformates via bis (trimethylsilyl) thione, which can be trapped with dienes.
