Al. Schwan et Md. Refvik, THE PREPARATION OF (E)-1-ALKENYLTHIOSILANES BY THE REDUCTION AND SILICON CAPTURE OF 1-ALKENESULFENATE ANIONS, Synlett, (1), 1998, pp. 96
A collection of (E)-1-alkenesulfenate anions were reduced by LiAlH4 at
law temperature. The resulting enethiolates, with their E geometry in
tact, could be captured with chlorosilane to afford silicon protected
enethiol ethers of thioaldehydes and thioketones. Reduction at a highe
r temperature prompts isomerization of the double bond.
