Trichlorosilane → 1,1,1,3,3-Pentachloro-1,3-disilabutane

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedure as Example 1 above, 0.18 g (0.61 mmol) of tetrabutylphosphonium chloride, 1.00 g (6.12 mmol) of (chloromethyl)methyldichlorosilane, and 2.52 g (18.6 mmol) of trichlorosilane were reacted at 150° C. for 2 hrs. The resulting mixture was distilled to give 0.96 g of 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloro-1,3-disilabutane (yield; 60%).
