Abstract The liquid-phase chlorination of bis (chloromethylsilyl) ethylenes and-acetylenes Me n Cl 3-n SiZ· SiMe n Cl 3-n (n= 0-3; Z= CH= CH, C≡ C) was studied. Novel carbochlorosilanes were obtained and characterized. The effect of substituents on the activity of the multiple bond of chlorosilylolefins in the reaction studied was determined.
