Abstract

Silicon and germanium containing heteroaromatic sulfides have been prepared using phase transfer catalytic (PTC) system thiol / Si or Ge containing alkyl halide / solid KOH / 18- crown-6 / toluene. The target sulfides were isolated in yields up to 92 %. It has been found that 2-{[dimethyl (β-triethylgermylethyl)-silylmethyl]thio}-1-methylimidazole and 2-{[dimethyl(β-triphenylsilylethyl) silyl-methyl]thio}benzothiazole are the most active cholesterol level lowering and vasodilating agents.
