(1-Chloroethyl)benzene → Trichloro(diphenylmethyl)silane

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedure as Example 1 above, 0.14 g (0.47 mmol) of tetrabutylphosphonium chloride, 0.95 g (4.69 mmol) of 1-chloroethylbenzene, and 1.91 g (14.10 mmol) of trichlorosilane were reacted at 150° C. for 6 hrs. The resulting mixture was distilled to give 0.31 g diphenyl-1-trichlorosilylmethane (yield; 22%).
