Abstract
Abstract Some practical uses for the disilane residue from the direct synthesis of methylchlorosilanes have been proposed. This residue can be converted into organochloro-(Me 2 SiCl 2 , MeSiCl 3 , Me 3 SiCl) or organohydrochloro-monosilanes (HMeSiCl 2 , HMe 2 SiCl). These disilanes can also be used for the synthesis of alkyl (haloalkyl, alkenyl, aryl, etc.) methyldichlorosilanes or alkyl (haloalkyl, alkenyl, aryl, etc.) trichlorosilanes. The reductive properties of the Si-Si bond of these species have been utilized (e.g. in the reduction of phosphine oxides into the corresponding phosphines). Polysilanes resulting from the disproportionation of this residue are precursors of polycarbosilanes.
