Sodium methylsulfinylmethylide (also called NaDMSO or dimsyl sodium) is the sodium salt of dimethyl sulfoxide. It has the chemical formula {{chem2|CH3S(O)CH2-Na+|auto=1}}. This unusual salt has some uses in organic chemistry as a base and nucleophile.

Since the first publication in 1965 by Corey et al.,{{cite journal | journal = J. Am. Chem. Soc. | year = 1965 | volume = 87 | pages = 1345–1353 | title = Methylsulfinyl Carbanion (CH3-SO-CH2).

Preparation

Sodium methylsulfinylmethylide is prepared by heating sodium hydride{{OrgSynth | author = Iwai, I.; Ide, J. | title = 2,3-Diphenyl-1,3-Butadiene | collvol = 6 | collvolpages = 531 | year = 1988 | prep = cv6p0531}} or sodium amide{{cite journal | journal = J.

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.{{cite journal |title = An asymmetric route to enantiomerically pure 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopropanes | journal = J. Org. Chem. | year = 1992 | volume = 57 | pages = 6265–6270 | doi = 10.1021/jo00049a038 |author1 = Romo, D. |author2 = Myers, A. I. |issue = 23}} NaDMSO in DMSO is especially convenient in the generation of dimethyloxosulfonium methylide and dimethylsulfonium methylide.{{cite book | author = Trost, B. M.; Melvin, L. S., Jr. | title = Sulfur Ylides: Emerging Synthetic Intermediates | publisher = Academic Press | location = New York | year = 1975 | isbn = 0-12-701060-2}}

=Reaction with esters=

NaDMSO condenses with esters (1) to form β-ketosulfoxides (2), which can be useful intermediates.{{cite journal |title = One-pot synthesis of β-keto sulfones and β-keto sulfoxides from carboxylic acids | journal = J. Org. Chem. | year = 1989 | volume = 54 | pages = 5620–5623 | doi = 10.1021/jo00284a043 |author1 = Ibarra, C. A |author2 = Rodgríguez, R. C |author3 = Monreal, M. C. F |author4 = Navarro, F. J. G. |author5 = Tesoreo, J. M. |issue = 23}} Reduction of β-ketosulfoxides with aluminium amalgam gives methyl ketones (3).{{cite journal | title = 1,4-Dipole-metalated quinone strategy to (±)-4-demethoxydaunomycinone and (±)-daunomycinone.

K. | author4 = Narasimhan, L. | issue = 24}} Reaction with alkyl halides followed by elimination gives α,β-unsaturated ketones (4). β-ketosulfoxides can also be used in the Pummerer rearrangement to introduce nucleophiles alpha to a carbonyl (5).{{cite journal | journal = Synthesis | year = 1985 | pages = 643–645 | author1 = Isibashi, H. | author2 = Okada, M.| author3 = Komatsu, H. | author4 = Ikeda, M.
