Production

edit

Refluxing dimethyl sulfoxide with methyl iodide can yield trimethylsulfoxonium iodide.[1]

Reactions

edit

Treated with sodium hydride, trimethylsulfoxonium forms dimethylsulfoxonium methylide.[1]

Trimethylsulfoxonium can polymerise to yield polyethylene.[2][3]

Copper, zinc and palladium ions in water react with trimethylsulfoxonium and sodium hydroxide to form sulfur ylide complexes.[4]

Properties

edit

In the chloride, the sulfur-oxygen bond length is 1.436 Å, sulfur-carbon bond is 1.742. OSC angles are 112.6°, and CSC angles are 106.2°.[5]
