Abstract

The catalytic C–H silylation of sulfides with hydrosilanes is of much interest and importance but has remained unexplored to date. We report here the C–H silylation of methyl sulfides with hydrosilanes by an yttrium metallocene catalyst. The reaction took place regioselectively at the α-methyl C–H bond, affording the corresponding silylated sulfide derivatives that are difficult to make by other means.
