Abstract

Syntheses of 1-alkynyl 2-(trimethylsilyl) ethyl sulfides are reported. Deprotection of 2- (trimethylsilyl) ethyl groups using fluoride ions permits the formation of thiolate anions which are trapped by in situ alkylation with methyl iodide and can be used to produce self- assembled monolayers on gold.
