The reaction of alkoxy-, amino-, and thiosilanes with halo (pseudohalo) derivatives of sulfur, as well as the reactions of organosilicon derivatives of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, and sulfonic acids with halogen-containing organic compounds proceed via mechanisms of the exchange type; organic derivatives of sulfur and low-boiling silicon compounds (trimethylhalo- and N,N-dimethylaminosilanes and hexamethyldisiloxane) are formed in high yields. These reactions can serve as convenient methods for the preparation of a number of sulfur compounds that are difficult to obtain. Hexamethyldisilthiane can be used as a reducing agent for sulfoxides and sulfines, as well as their selenium analogs.
