Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedure as Example 1 above, 0.30 g (1.5 mmol) of tri-n-butylphosphine, 0.74 g (7.5 mmol) of 1,2-dichloroethane, and 10.2 g (75.0 mmol) of trichlorosilane were reacted at 150° C. for 12 hrs. The resulting mixture was distilled to give 1.5 g of 1,2-bis(trichlorosilyl)ethane (bp; 201° C., yield; 67%) and 0.1 g of 2-(chloroethyl)trichlorosilane (bp; 152-3° C., yield; 5%).
