The stable thioketen, (Me3Si)2C![[double bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e006.gif)
CS (1), reacts with alcohols and amines to give O-alkyl thio-esters Me3SiCH2C(S)OR (2), and thioamides, Me3SiCH2C(S)NR2(3), which can be desilylated or metallated for further use in synthesis; the isomeric Me3SiC![[triple bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e007.gif)
CSSiMe3(8) thermally rearranges to (1).
