Sodium methylsulfinylmethylide (also called NaDMSO or dimsyl sodium) is the sodium salt of the conjugate base of dimethyl sulfoxide. This unusual salt has some uses in organic chemistry as a base and nucleophile.
Since the first publication in 1965 by Corey et al.,[2] a number of additional uses for this reagent have been identified.[3]
Preparation
Sodium methylsulfinylmethylide is prepared by heating sodium hydride[4] or sodium amide[5] in DMSO.
- CH3SOCH3 + NaH → CH3SOCH2−Na+ + H2
- CH3SOCH3 + NaNH2 → CH3SOCH2−Na+ + NH3
Reactions
As a Base
The pKa of DMSO is 35, which leads NaDMSO to be a powerful Brønsted base. NaDMSO is used in the generation of phosphorus and sulfur ylides.[6] NaDMSO in DMSO is especially convenient in the generation of dimethyloxosulfonium methylide and dimethylsulfonium methylide.[2][7]
Reaction with esters
NaDMSO condenses with esters (1) to form β-ketosulfoxides (2), which can be useful intermediates.[8] Reduction of β-ketosulfoxides with aluminium amalgam gives methyl ketones (3).[9] Reaction with alkyl halides followed by elimination gives α,β-unsaturated ketones (4). Interestingly, β-ketosulfoxides can also be used in the Pummerer rearrangement to introduce nucleophiles alpha to a carbonyl (5).[10]
