Application
Bis(Methylthio)(Trimethylsilyl)Methane serves as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis primarily used for the production of bis(methylthio)ketene acetals from aldehydes and ketones It acts as an acyl anion synthon suitable for conjugate additions to enones and enoates thereby facilitating one-carbon homologations The bis(methylthio)ketene acetals derived from this process are valuable synthetic intermediates that can be easily transformed into S-methyl thioesters or converted into the corresponding carboxylic acids and esters thus expanding their utility in various chemical syntheses
