New chalcogen derivatives of silicon possessing adamantane and noradamantane structures
Herzog,Rheinwald
, p. 133 - 143 (2001)
The reaction of Si2Cl4Me2 (1) with Li2Se in THF yields exclusively the noradamantane (MeSi)4Se5 (4). The sulfur analogue (MeSi)4S5 (3) could be obtained from 1, MeSiCl

The Müller–Rochow direct process (DP) for the large-scale production of methylchlorosilanes MenSiCl4?n (n=1–3) generates a disilane residue (MenSi2Cl6?n, n=1–6, DPR) in thousands of tons annually. This report is on methylchlorodisilane cleavage reactions with use of phosphonium chlorides as the cleavage catalysts and reaction partners to preferably obtain bifunctional monosilanes MexSiHyClz (x=2, y=z=1; x,y=1, z=2; x=z=1, y=2). Product formation is controlled by the reaction temperature, the amount of phosphonium chloride employed, the choice of substituents at the phosphorus atom, and optionally by the presence of hydrogen chloride, dissolved in ethers, in the reaction mixture. Replacement of chloro by hydrido substituents at the disilane backbone strongly increases the overall efficiency of disilane cleavage, which allows nearly quantitative silane monomer formation under comparably moderate conditions. This efficient workup of the DPR thus not only increases the economic value of the DP, but also minimizes environmental pollution.
