Yield:-

Reaction Conditions:

at 80; for 24 h;

Steps:

Firstly, (CH3)3SX(X = Cl, Br, I) were synthesized. For (CH3)3SI, equimolar amounts of CH3I and (CH3)2S were mixed in a round-bottomed flask andreacted at room temperature for 12 h. White crystals of (CH3)3SIwere formed and washed twice with diethyl ether [6]. For (CH3)3-SBr, a solution of benzyl bromide (2.38 mL, 20 mmol) and DMSO(10 mL) contained in a round-bottomed flask equipped with a condenserwas heated at 80 °C for 24 h. When the reaction mixturewas cooled to room temperature, trimethylsulfonium bromide(CH3)3SBr precipitated, which was then thoroughly washed withacetone and dried with P2O5 under vacuum [7]. (CH3)3SCl was synthesizedby mixing methyl chloroformate (0.025 mol, 2.37 g) withdimethyl sulfide (0.05 mol, 3.1 g) in a pressure bottle at 80 °C overnight[8]. The produced white crystals were washed with diethylether and dried with P2O5 under vacuum. Due to its hygroscopicnature, (CH3)3SCl was thereafter stored in an Argon-filled glovebox with O2 and H2O levels typically below 1 ppm.
