Participants

Reaction Steps

A two-liter four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, a reflux cooling tube and a dropping funnel was charged in a nitrogen atmosphere with 85 grams (0.5 mol) of tetrachlorosilane and 500 ml of diethylether and then added with the droplets of 500 ml of 1,1-dimethylpropyllithium (1.0 M diethylether solution) as being stirred and cooled with ice over 2 hours. After completion of the addition, stirring was continued for another one hour at room temperature. The resulting mixture was filtered out in a nitrogen atmosphere and then purified by distillation thereby obtaining 36 grams (yield : 35%) of 1,1-dimethylpropyltrichlorosilane.
