• [(tert-Butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]methanethiol [HSCH2OSiMe2Bu-t] is a nucleophilic reagent for
  2
  introduction of a protected bivalent sulfur; this reagent is complementary to the electrophilic reagent p-MeC6H4SO2SCH2OSiMe2Bu-t. The thiol is prepared by the action of HSLi on tert-butyl(chloromethoxy)dimethysilane [ClCH2OSiMe2Bu-t] and it reacts with alkyl bromides to give protected thiols.
