Iodotrimethylsilane has rapidly become a valuable reagent for organic synthesis since its use in the cleavage of alkyl esters and ethers1,2,3 under essentially neutral conditions was introduced. For example, the conversion of ketals to ketones4, alcohols to iodides5, alkyl carbamates to amines, and sulfoxides to sulfides7 can now be readily promoted by iodotrimethylsilane.
