Electrochemical reduction of a series of substituted benzal chlorides (4) in dimethylformamide containing excess chlorotrimetylsilane affords (α-chlorobenzyl)trimetylsilanes (5) or benzal (geminal) disilanes (6), depending upon experimental conditions.Benzal bromide (13) is reducted to (α-bromobenzyl)trimetylsilane (14) cleanly and in high yield without subsequent conversion to the geminal disilane 6a, apparently because of electrode passivation by bromide ion.The reaction are conveniently carried out at constant current in an undivided cell containing a stainless steel cathode and sacrificial magnesium anode.

Reaction of (R, R', R'', R''' = H or SiMe3) with LiBun in n-hexane in the presence of Me2NCH2CH2NMe2 (tmeda) or MeN(CH2CH2NMe2)2 (pmdeta) results in selective lithiation of the α-carbon in a manner dependent on the na
