Chlorodiphenylsilane is used in Medicine field, electronics industry, polymer materials. It is used in reduction of alcohols.
Organolithium and Grignard reagents react with chlorodiphenylsilane to produce substituted alkyl- or aryldiphenylsilanes (eqs 4 and 5).
chlorodiphenylsilane may be prepared in
high yield by treatment of diphenylsilane with triphenylmethyl
chloride in refluxing benzene or with PCl5 at rt in CCl4.
