- Selective synthesis of halosilanes from hydrosilanes and utilization for organic synthesis
-
Selective synthesis of halosilanes has been examined. Various types of halosilanes and halohydrosilanes, such as R3SiX, R2SiHX, R2SiX2, RSiH2X, RSiHX2 (X=Cl, Br, F), were obtained by the reactions of the corresponding hydrosilanes with Cu(II)-based reagents selectively in high yields. This method could be also applied to the synthesis of chlorofluorosilanes and chlorohydrogermanes. On the other hand, iodo- and bromosilanes and germanes were obtained by Pd- or Ni-catalyzed hydride-halogen exchange reactions of hydrosilanes with alkyl or allyl halides. Their synthetic applications have been demonstrated by using iodo- and bromosilanes and chlorofluorosilanes.

- PdCl2 and NiCl2-catalyzed hydrogen-halogen exchange for the convenient preparation of bromo- and iodosilanes and germanes
-
Bromination and iodination of hydrosilanes and germanes were studied. Treatment of hydrosilanes with an excess of ethyl, propyl, or allyl bromide in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl2 or NiCl2 gave bromosilanes in good to high yield by hydrogen-halogen exchange. By using methyl, propyl, or allyl iodide as the iodine source, similar iodination of hydrosilanes was readily performed. Halogenation of hydrogermanes also proceeded by similar treatment.

- Process for preparing cyclopentadienyl group-containing silicon compound or cyclopentadienyl group-containing germanium compound
-
Disclosed is a process for preparing a cyclopentadienyl group-containing silicon compound or a cyclopentadienyl group-containing germanium compound, comprising reacting (i) a lithium, sodium or potassium salt of a cyclopentadiene derivative with (ii) a silicon halide compound or a germanium halide compound in the presence of a cyanide or a thiocyanate. The cyanide or the thiocyanate is preferably a copper salt. According to the process of the invention, a cyclopentadienyl group-containing silicon compound or a cyclopentadienyl group-containing germanium compound, which is very useful for the preparation of a metallocene complex catalyst component, can be prepared in a high yield for a short period of time.
