Although the dehy REACTION OF ORGANIC HALIDES WITH drochlorinative coupling reaction of activated alkyl chlo SILANES rides such as benzyl chloride or allyl chloride have been reported, the coupling reaction of unactivated alkyl chlo BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION rides with trichlorosilane has never been reported. In the 1. Field of the Invention previously reports, tertiary amine was used in excess, more than the Stoichiometric amount respect to alkyl chloride. The The present invention relates to processes for making the tertiary amine used is a hydrogen chloride Scavenger rather compounds of formula I which comprise a dehydrohaloge than a catalyst. Since the ammonium Salt obtained from the native coupling of hydrochlorosilanes of formula II with tertiary amine and hydrogen chloride have to be neutralized organic halides of formula III in the presence of Lewis base to recycle the amine, it would be too costly to be utilized on catalyst. an industry Scale. It is necessary to find a way to reduce the usage of the amine or find another effective catalyst to apply the coupling reaction for industrial purposes. (II) The present inventors have discovered that a coupling 15 reaction of alkyl halides and hydrochlorosilanes in the (III) presence of various tertiary amines or tertiary phosphines as In formulas I and II, R' represents a hydrogen, chloro, or a catalyst proceeded to give the corresponding coupled methyl; in formula III, X represents a chloro or bromo; in products by liberating hydrogen halide as a gas. The dehy formula III, R can be selected from the group consisting of drohalogenative coupling reaction can be applied to not only a C-7alkyl, a Co fluorinated alkyl with partial or full the activated alkyl halides such as benzyl chloride or allyl fluorination, a Cls alkenyl groups, a silyl group containing chloride, but also to the unactivated alkyl halides Such as alkyls, (CH),SiMes, Cl, wherein n is 0 to 2 and m is 0 to n-alkylhexyl chloride or haloalkyl Substituted organosilicon 3, aromatic groups, Ar(R), wherein Ar is C. aromatic compound. Suitable amine catalysts include, but are not hydrocarbon, R is a C alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, or Vinyl, limited to triethylamine, tri-n-propylamine, tri-n- and q is 0 to 5, a haloalkyl group, (CH2).X wherein p is 1 25 butylamine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylene diamine, to 9 and X is a chloro or bromo; or an aromatic hydrocarbon pyridine, N,N-dimethyltoluidine, N-alkylpyrrolidine. Suit able phosphine catalysts include, but are not limited to ArCH2X wherein Aris Caromatic hydrocarbon and X is tributyl phosphine, trie thyl phosphine, a chloro or bromo. in formula I, R is the same as R in tricyclohexylphosphine, triphenylphosphine, bis formula III and further, R can also be (CH2)SiRC1 or (diphenylphosphine)methane, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphine) ArCH-SiRC1, when R in formula III is (CH),X or ethane, and phosphine coordinated transition metallic com ArCHX, because of the coupling reaction of X with the pounds Such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, tris compound of formula II.

In 1968, Benkeser and Smith reported the reduction of carbon tetrachloride to chloroform by using a 1:1 mixture of 35 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION trichlorosilane and tertiary amine as reducing agents The present invention relates to processes for making (Benkeser, R. A.; Smith, W. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1968,90, compounds of formula I which comprises a dehydrohalo 5307). They proposed that the amine-catalyzed reduction of genative coupling between hydrochlorosilanes of formula II carbon tetrachloride to chloroform proceeded via the for and organic halides of formula III in the presence of a Lewis mation of (trichloromethyl)trichlorosilane by the dehydro 40 base catalyst. chlorinative coupling reaction between the carbon tetrachlo The reaction can be illustrated as follows: ride and trichlorosilane, and Subsequent cleavage of the carbon-Silicon bonded Species by ammonium chloride to HSiRCl2 + ROH2X -- RCHSIRC1 + HX give chloroform and tetrachlorosilane. In 1969, Benkeser and co-workers also reported that benzyl chloride and ben 45 (II) (III) (I) Zyl chlorides could be silylated with trichlorosilane-tertiary amine 1:1 mixture to give the corresponding trichlorosilyl In formulas I and II, R' represents a hydrogen, chloro, or Substituted products by the dehydrochlorinative coupling methyl; in formula III, X represents a chloro or bromo; in reaction (Benkeser, R. A., Gaul, J. M.; Smith, W. E. J. Am. formula III, R can be selected from the group consisting of Chem. Soc. 1969, 91, 3666). 50 a C-17 alkyl, a Co fluorinated alkyl with partial or full In 1975, Furuya and Sukawa reported allytrichlorosilane fluorination, a Cls alkenyl groups, a silyl group containing could be prepared in high yield by a coupling reaction of alkyls, (CH), SiMe-Cl wherein n is 0 to 2 and m is 0 to allyl chloride with a 1:1 mixture of trichlorosilane and 3, aromatic groups, Ar(R), wherein Ar is C. aromatic tertiary amine in the presence of copper chloride as a catalyst hydrocarbon, R is a C- alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, or vinyl, (Furuya, N.; Sukawa, T. J. Organometal. Chem. 1975, 96, 55 and q is 0 to 5, a haloalkyl group, (CH),X wherein p is 1 C1). to 9 and X is a chloro or bromo; or an aromatic hydrocarbon, Recently, Corriu and co-workers reported that the reaction Ar CH2X wherein Ar is C. aromatic hydrocarbon and X of chloroform with trichlorosilane in the presence of exceSS is a chloro or bromo. in formula I, R is the same as R in tributylamine gave bis(trichlorosily)methane and tris formula III and further, R can also be (CH2)SiRC1 or (trichlorosilyl)methane (Corriu, R. J. P.; Granier, M.: 60 ArCHSiRC1, when R in formula III is (CH),X or Lanneau, G. F.J. Organometal. Chem. 1998,562, 79). These ArCHX, because of the coupling reaction of X with the reports Suggest that a chloroalkyl group containing organic compound of formula II. compounds and organosilanes having Si-H bonds could undergo the dehydrochlorinative coupling reaction with DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE trichlorosilane in the presence of an organic base. 65 INVENTION The dehydrochlorinative coupling reaction is a novel In a Sealed StainleSS Steel tube, hydrochlorosilane repre method of forming silicon-carbon bonds useful for the sented by formula II, organic halide of formula III, solvent, US 6,251,057 B1 3 4 and catalyst are placed all together under inert atmosphere.
