Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedure as Example 1 above, 0.059 g (0.20 mmol) of tetrabutylphosphonium chloride, 0.35 g (2.0 mmol) of 1,4-bis(chloromethyl)benzene, 1.35 g (10.0 mmol) of trichlorosilane, and 10 ml of dried benzene were reacted at 150° C. for 2 hrs. The resulting mixture was distilled to give 0.16 g of 1-chloromethyl-4-(trichlorosilylmethyl)benzene (yield; 30%) and 0.19 g of 1,4-bis(trichlorosilylmethyl)benzene (yield; 25%).
