Abstract

Reactions of organo(trichloromcthyl)silanes RMc2SiCCl3 (R = Me, Ph, Mc3Si) with aluminum chloride have been studied. The interaction of trimetltyl(tricltlorometltyl)silane with AlCl3 carried out in cyclohexane or in benzene leads to Me3SiCHCI2 (in 75 % yield) or ClMe2SiCPh2Me (in 70 % yield), respectively; whereas no conversions are observed inn-hexane and methylene chloride. Treatment of dimetltyl(phenyl)(ricltloromethyl)silane with aluminum chloride in an-C5H12/CH2CI2 mixture gives an aromatic cross-linked insoluble polymer. The reaction of pentamethyl(trichloromcthyl)disilane (R = Mc3Si) with AICl3 in pentane affords the rearrangement product, Me3SiCCl2SiMc2Cl, in 65 % yield. In methylene chloride the further cleavage of the disilane occurs to yield Me2SiCl2 and CH2=CHMe2SiCl.
