PdCl2 and NiCl2-catalyzed hydrogen-halogen exchange for the convenient preparation of bromo- and iodosilanes and germanes

Bromination and iodination of hydrosilanes and germanes were studied. Treatment of hydrosilanes with an excess of ethyl, propyl, or allyl bromide in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl2 or NiCl2 gave bromosilanes in good to high yield by hydrogen-halogen exchange. By using methyl, propyl, or allyl iodide as the iodine source, similar iodination of hydrosilanes was readily performed. Halogenation of hydrogermanes also proceeded by similar treatment.

Selective synthesis of halosilanes from hydrosilanes and utilization for organic synthesis

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.
