Bis(trimethylsilyl) sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula ((CH3)3Si)2S. Often abbreviated (tms)2S, this colourless, vile-smelling liquid is a useful aprotic source of “S2−“ in chemical synthesis.[3]
Synthesis
The reagent is prepared by treating trimethylsilyl chloride with anhydrous sodium sulfide:[4]
- 2 (CH3)3SiCl + Na2S → ((CH3)3Si)2S + 2 NaCl
((CH3)3Si)2S must be protected from air because it hydrolyzes readily:
- ((CH3)3Si)2S + H2O → ((CH3)3Si)2O + H2S
Applications
(tms)2S is primarily used to convert oxides and chlorides into the corresponding sulfides.[5] This transformation exploits the affinity of silicon(IV) for oxygen and halides. An idealized reaction is:
- ((CH3)3Si)2S + MO → ((CH3)3Si)2O + MS
In a similar way, it has been used in the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding thiones.[6][7]
Safety
((CH3)3Si)2S reacts exothermically with water, releasing toxic H2S.
