1-Chlorooctane → Octyltrichlorosilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedure as Example 1 above, 0.20 g (0.68 mmol) of tetrabutylphosphonium chloride, 1.00 g (6.73 mmol) of 1-chlorooctane and 2.71 g (20.0 mmol) of trichlorosilane were reacted at 170° C. for 2 hrs. The resulting mixture was distilled to give 1.42 g of n-octyltrichlorosilane (yield; 85%).
