Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedure as Example 1 above, 0.15 g (0.75 mmol) of tri-n-butylphosphine, 0.95 g (7.5 mmol) of benzyl chloride, and 5.08 g (37.5 mmol) of trichlorosilane were reacted at 150° C. for 2 hrs. The resulting mixture was distilled to give 1.6 g of benzyltrichlorosilane (bp; 140-2° C./10 mmHg, yield; 96%).
