Procedure

A four-necked flask equipped with a condenser, thermometer, dropping funnel, and stirrer was charged with 129.1 g (1.0 mol ) of dimethyldichlorosilane and 1.3 g (0.01 mol) of AlCl3, which were agitated with the stirrer. To the flask at room temperature, 58.2 g (0.5 mol) of t-butyldimethylsilane was added dropwise over one hour. Thereafter, agitation was continued for one hour while the flask was kept at 30° C. 2.8 g (0.02 mol) of o-dimethoxybenzene was added to the reaction solution which was agitated for a further one hour. Dimethylchlorosilane and t-butyldimethylchlorosilane were isolated from the reaction solution by distillation. There were obtained 42.8 g of dimethylchlorosilane and 69.0 g of t-butyldimethylchlorosilane in a yield of 91% and 92%, respectively.
