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.

Reactions of hydrosilanes, R4-nSiHn (R = alkyl or phenyl, n = 1-3), with 2 equiv of CuBr2 in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuI led to selective replacement of an H-Si bond with a Br-Si bond giving R3SiBr, R2SiHBr, or RSiH2Br, while treatment of R2SiH2 and RSiH3 with 4 equiv of the reagent produced R2SiBr2 and RSiHBr2, respectively. Similar reaction of HEt2SiSiEt2H afforded HEt2SiSiEt2Br.
