In a single compartment cell fitted with a sacrificial magnesium anode, electrochemical reduction of phenyl and benzyl halides in the presence of trimethylchlorosilane gave the corresponding phenyl- and benzyl-silanes in satisfactory yields.Under well chosen conditions, the synthesis of phenyltrimethylsilane from phenyl bromide or chloride was also found possible.
