In the reaction of tertiary alkyl halides with tetraethyl-, tetrapropyl-, tetrabutyl-, and tetraamylsilane in the presence of AlX3 the halogen atom is substituted by the alkyl group with the formation of the corresponding saturated hydrocarbons containing a quaternary carbon atom.As a result of the hydride mobility of the β-hydrogen atom in the tetraalkylsilane ionic hydrogenolysis of the substrate occurs in addition to alkylation, and the degree of hydrogenolysis depends on the alkyl substituent in the silane.
