Thermal reaction of RSH with Et₃SiH in the presence of a catalytic amount of CpFe(CO)₂Me exhibited dehydrogenative S–Si coupling to give RSSiEt₃. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed involving an Fe(IV) complex with SR, SiEt₃, and H ligands, from which reductive elimination of SR and SiEt₃ takes place to give RSSiEt₃.
