Triethylsiloxymethylamine, Et3SiOCH2NMe2, readily synthesized in high yield by the hydrosilylation reaction between Et3SiH and DMF, is an excellent (N,N-dimethylamino)methyl transfer agent to a representative range of aliphatic alcohols, thiols, and Ph2PH (E–H) materials. The reactions are almost instantaneous at room temperature in inert solvents and require no activating agents to produce E–CH2NMe2 products in high yields and illustrate the title compound as an excellent addition to the family of organic reagents. For aromatic alcohols, electrophilic substitution of the aromatic ring occurs in high yield. Crystal structures of new materials such as the cholestero–CH2NMe2 derivative, 2–4-[bis(N,N-dimethylamino)methyl]-1-naphthol, and the phosphine oxide derived from Ph2PCH2NMe2 are reported.

Iodomethyl-, chloromethyl-, and fluoromethyldimethylsulfonium salts, 4b-d, have been synthesized and are observed to be highly reactive molecules that exhibit extraordinary diversity with respect to the nature of their reactivity, undergoing facile direct substitution (SN2) reactions, but also being highly susceptible to electron-transfer reactions. Cyclic voltametry experiments indicated that the iodomethyldimethylsulfonium compound, 4b, is a potent electron acceptor, even surpassing the reactivity of perfluoro-n-alkyl iodides in that capacity. The iodo- and chloromethyldimethylsulfonium salts, 4b,c, as well as the analogous iodomethyltrimethylammonium salt, 3a, are shown to be reactive SET acceptors.
