A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF (TRICHLOROMETHYL)CHLOROSILANES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1980.721

In the presence of a catalytic amount of triphenylphosphine, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloro-1,2-dimethyldisilane reacted smoothly under mild conditions with carbon tetrachloride to produce (trichloromethyl)-methyldichlorosilane (1) in good yield. (Trichloromethyl)dimethyl-chlorosilane was also readily prepared by the triphenylphosphine-promoted transfer of the trichloromethyl group from (1) to dimethyldichlorosilane.
