Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedures as EXAMPLE 1, 14.6 g (159 mmol) of toluene and 0.18 g (1.6 mmol) of aluminum chloride were placed and reacted with 5.0 g (32 mmol) of allyldichlorosilane under the dry nitrogen atmosphere for 20 min. After stirring the solution for another an hour, 2.0 g (30 mmol) of sodium chloride was added to reaction mixture, warmed up to 50° C. and stirred for two hours to deactivate the catalyst. Vacuum distillation of the reaction products gave 6.3 g (bp 73°-76° C./0.5 mmHg) of of 3-(methylphenyl)-1,1,1-trichloro-1-silabutane in 73% yield.
