Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a 25 ml oven dried stainless steel tube, 0.15 g (0.75 mmol) of tri-n-butylphosphine, 0.90 g (7.5 mmol) of 1-chlorohexane, and 5.08 g (37.5 mmol) of trichlorosilane were added under a dry nitrogen atmosphere. After sealing the cylinder with a valve, the reactor was maintained at 150° C. for 12 hrs. The resulting mixture was distilled to yield 1.1 g of n-hexyltrichlorosilane (bp; 215-219° C., yield; 65%).
