Abstract

In 1863 Friedel and Crafts' synthesized tetraethylsilane, the first tetraalkylsilane, by heating diethyl zinc with silicon tetrachloride in a sealed tube; tetramethylsilane was synthesized by the same method2 Twenty years later Polis3 utilized the reaction of sodium with a mixture of aryl halide and silicon tetrachloride for the synthesis of arylsilicon compounds, a method applied later by Kipping4 to the synthesis of alkylsilicon compounds. In 1904 Kipping5 ...
