Abstract
Abstract A silicon mirror surface (deposited from silane decomposition) catalyzes the free radical isomerization of Chloromethyldimethylsilane to trimethylchlorosilane and trimethylsilane. This surface also catalyzes the free radical reaction of methyl chloride with silane to produce a mixture of chlorosilanes. It is proposed that these reactions are initiated by free radicals produced at the walls by chlorine atom transfers from the alkyl chloride reactants to the silicon mirror surface.
