We found a previously unknown reaction of O Csp
bond cleavage in vinyl ethers with organylhalo-
silanes, involving substitution of the halogen atom by
an alkoxy group.
H 5.47; Cl 28.50; Si 11.34. C10H14Cl2OSi. Calculated,
%: C 48.20; H 5.66; Cl 28.45; Si 11.27. The vinyl
chloride formed in the course of the reaction was
condensed in a liquid nitrogen trap and then bromi-
nated to obtain 1,2-chlorodibromoethane, bp 60 C

The reactions of trichloro(phenyl)silane with butyl
vinyl silane at 1:2 and 1:3 molar ratios, as well as
the reactions of butyl vinyl ether with PhMeSiCl2,
ClCH2SiCl3, MeSiCl3, SiCl4, and PhSiF3 were per-
formed in a similar way.
For example, the reaction of butyl vinyl ether with
trichloro(phenyl)silane at a 1:1 molar ratio at 20 C
gives vinyl chloride and dichloro(butoxy)phenylsilane
in a near-quantitative yield (96%). At 2:1 and 3:1
reagent molar ratios, a mixture of chloro(butoxy)-
phenylsilanes PhSi(OBu)3 nCln (n = 0 2) is formed.
The major component of the mixture is dichloro(but-
oxy)phenylsilane.

The reactions of butyl vinyl ether with ClCH2SiCl3,
PhMeSiCl2, MeSiCl3, and SiCl4 at 1:1 molar ratios at
20 C, too, give chloro(butoxy)(methyl)phenylsilane,
dichloro(chloromethyl)butoxysilane, dichloro(butoxy)-
methylsilane, and trichloro(butoxy)silane (yields 32,
57, 45, and 37%, respectively). From butyl vinyl ether
and trifluoro(phenyl)silane under similar conditions
we obtained difluoro(butoxy)phenylsilane in an yield
of up to 10% and poly(butyl vinyl ether).

Reaction of butyl vinyl ether with trichloro-
(phenyl)silane. A mixture of 10.0 g of butyl vinyl
ether and 21.2 g of trichloro(phenyl)silane was al-
lowed to stand at room temperature for 1 day. Vacuum
distillation gave 23.9 g (96%) of dichloro(butoxy)-
