First Synthesis of N-Organyl-S-silylorganyl Derivatives of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole

The alkylation of 2-[dimethyl-(phenyl)/(phenylethynyl)silyl)methylthio]benzothiazoles with α-iodoketones of the aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic series in the absence of basic media and solvents leads to formation of unknown salts based on 2-mercaptobenzothiazolium cations.
