Catalytic reaction of phenylchlorosilanes with methylchlorosilanes

Communication 5. Lithium aluminum hydride as a catalyst for the redistribution of substituents at the silicon atom

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Lithium aluminum hydride causes the disproportionation of methyl- and phenylchlorosilanes more actively than do the previously used catalysts. The role of the lithium aluminum hydride reduces to a partial reduction of the Si-Cl bonds, in which connection the catalysts of the process are aluminum chlorohydrides. The use of LiAIH4 makes it possible to direct the process toward the formation of the necessary methylphenylchlorosilane.

  2. 2.

    In contrast to organochlorosilanes, LiAIH4 does not cause the disproportionation of silicohydrocarbons.
