Functional Group Transformation of Hydrosilanes

Hydrogen atoms on silicon atoms are functional groups. Hydrosilanes can he transformed into halosilanes, alkoxysilanes, etc. 

Transformation of hydrosilane to chlorosilane with carbon tetrachloride and benzoyl peroxide (24) 

AIL three-necked round-hottomed flask, a magnetic stirrer, a reflux condenser, a distillation apparatus under reduced pressure, and a Kugelrohr distillation apparatus. 

2-Di-terf-hutyl- 1-chloro-1,1-diphenyldisilane, henzoyl peroxide, carhon tetrachloride. 

A solution of 2,2-di-terf-hutyl-l-chloro-l,l-diphenyldisilane (72.8 g, 202 mmol) and henzoyl peroxide (0.136 g, 0.561 mmol) in carhon tetrachloride (500 mL) was heated at 70°C for 1 day. Benzoyl peroxide (0.103 g, 0.425 mmol) was added again to the reaction mixture, and the solution was heated at 70°C for 2 days. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was distilled under reduced pressure with a Kugelrohr distillation
