Convenient reagent for the dithiation of carboxylic acids to methyl dithioesters. Davy Reagent methyl acts as a proton donor, which makes it useful in organic synthesis, as it can be used to catalyze the formation of complex molecules. Davy′s reagent methyl typically consists of a methyl donor in combination with a base that acts to deprotonate the alcohol or phenol, making it more nucleophilic and thus more reactive towards methylation. In practical applications, Davy reagent methyl could be employed in complex synthesis pathways where precise control over methylation is required. This includes the selective methylation of specific functional groups within a molecule without affecting other reactive sites.
