Notes:
Disilylmethane is available in a four-step synthesis starting with phenylsilane. This is converted into chlorophenylsilane by HCl/AlCl3. The reaction of PhSiH2Cl and dibromomethane with magnesium in tetrahydrofuran affords bis(phenylsilyl)-methane, which yields bis(bromosilyl)methane by treatment with anhydrous hydrogen bromide. (BrH2Si)2CH2 is converted into disilylmethane by reduction with LiAlH4 in a two-phase system using a phase-transfer catalyst. - Methyldisilane is available by alkylation of a monohalodisilane, XSi2H5 (X = Cl, Br), with methyllithium in a high-boiling ether or by silylation of bromomethylsilane with silylpotassium. Due to secondary silylation reactions the overall yields of methyldisilane are low in all cases.
