Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedure as Example 1 above, 0.44 g (1.50 mmol) of tetrabutylphosphonium chloride, 0.74 g (7.5 mmol) of 1,2-dichloroethane, and 10.16 g (75.0 mmol) of trichlorosilane were reacted at 150° C. for 10 hrs. The resulting mixture was distilled to give 1.09 g of 1,2-bis(trichlorosilyl)ethane (yield; 54%).
