Halogenations iodotrimethylsilane

As with other non-metal derivatives, reactivity depends on chain-length, branching and degree of halogen substitution. Individually indexed compounds are f Chloromethylphenylsilane, 2810 f Chlorotrimethylsilane, 1304 f Cyanotrimethylsilane, 1665 f Dichlorodiethylsilane, 1683 f Dichlorodimethylsilane, 0902 f Dichloroethylsilane, 0903 f Dichloromethylsilane, 0470 f Dichloromethylvinylsilane, 1208 f Iodotrimethylsilane, 1306 f Methyltrichlorosilane, 0439 f Trichloroethylsilane, 0854 f Trichlorovinylsilane, 0746... 

Halosilanes are also potent halogen donors, particularly in exchange reactions with alkyl fluorides, due to the strong Si-F bond formation. Tertiary- and secondary-alkyl fluorides are reacted with iodotrimethylsilane to yield alkyl iodides in high yields (equation 19)214 ... 

Deoxygenation of sulfoxides. Alkyl sulfoxides are reduced to sulfides on treatment with either bromo- or iodotrimethylsilane in CCI4 at room temperature for 30 minutes (yields generally around 80%). Some halogenated products are also formed in the case of diaryl or dibenzyl sulfoxides.
