Abstract
Abstract An investigation has been made of the synthesis of two new organofunctional disilanes, (dichloromethyl)pentamethyldisilane and 1,2-bis(chloromethyl)tetramethyldisilane, and some reactions of these and the previously reported (chloromethyl)pentamethyldisilane. (Dichloromethyl)pentamethyldisilane undergoes intramolecular rearrangement with anhydrous aluminum chloride to give either (trimethylsilyl)(chlorodimethylsilyl)chloromethane or 1,1-bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane according to the reaction conditions. (Chloromethyl)pentamethyldisilane rearranges intramolecularly with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to give (trimethylsilyl)(ethoxydimethylsilyl)methane. Some other reactions known to occur with the chloromethyl derivatives of monosilane have also been studied.
