Description

Patented Jan. 19, 1954 PRODUCTION or ORGANIC SILICON COMPOUNDS Siegfried Nitzsche, Burghausen, Upper Bavaria,
Germany, assignor, by mesne assignments, to Wacker-Chemie G. in. b. H., Munich, Germany No Drawing. Application April 19, 1950, Serial No. 156,947
Claims'priority, application Germany May 5, 1949 7 Claims. (Cl. 260-4482) This invention relates to the production of organosilicon halides and it has for its object to provide a novel and improved process for this purpose. 7
Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and economical catalytic process for producing organosilicon halides, and particularly alkyl and aryl compounds thereof, with greater uniformity of conversion and higher yield than has heretofore been possible.
Various other objects and advantages will be apparent as the nature of the invention is more fully disclosed.
The present application is a continuation-inpart of application Serial No. 140,157, filed January 23, 1950.
It is possible to produce alkyl or aryl halides of silicon by reacting gaseous aryl or alkyl halides with silicon in the presence of copper, nickel, antimony, copper oxide or copper chloride. However, the various possible combinations of these materials yield fluctuating transformations and outputs, so that it is necessary for economic reasons to use catalysts which promote uniform transformation and high output.
I have found that these requirements are attained to a satisfactory degree, and that aryl or alkyl silicon halides, particularly dialkyl or diaryldihalogensilanes, are obtained if an alloy is used which contains besides silicon and copper also a metal of the th to 8th groups of the periodic table, particular cobalt, nickel, iron or phosphorus. These bodies can be used as powders, lumps, or as pressings. An additional increase in emciency is attained if the catalyst is used in connection with an activator, for example a copper salt. For this purpose the catalyst is wetted or coated with solutions or pastes of copper salts. As such inorganic salts, particularly copper chloride or salt mixtures are preferred above all other. The activation may be performed before or during the conversion. It is also possible to bring about the formation of metal salts on the catalyst through corre sponding transformations before or during the production of the organosilicon compound; thereby the desired oxidation stages may be adjusted or maintained before or during the transformation.
For the production of the catalyst the procedure is preferably such that an alloy of silicon, copper, and a metal of the 5th to 8th groups, for example cobalt, nickel, iron or phosphorous, is melted under slag or an inert gas. The finished alloy is reduced to pieces or ground into a powder which is pressed into tablets. In order to activate this alloy the pieces may be wet with a copper chloride solution or paste, or the powdered alloy may be mixed with such solution and. then compressed. The copper salt may also be formed by reaction of copper with an acid, such as hydrochloric acid, before or during the transformation. In the latter case the acid may be introduced into the reaction simul- 'taneously with the halogen compounds. If the halide is conducted at an elevated temperature preferably between 250 and 380 C. over a catalyst'such as that described above, the silicon is transformed uniformly and with a good output to the corresponding organic silicon compounds which contain chiefly dialkyl or aryldihalogensilanes.
Example I An alloy consisting of silicon, copper and cobait is melted and then reduced in the manner described above. Ethyl chloride is conducted in contact with this alloy at an elevated temperature as previously described. Ethylchlorosilanes are produced with a good output.
Example II Example III An alloy of ferrosilicon (90% silicon) and copper (about 20-30%) is prepared. This is pulverized and the powder is treated with a solution of Cu-hydrochloric acid, which suitably contains some copper in bivalent form. After drying, the powder is converted with methyl chloride, preferably at 270-300 C. After 21 hours 6.690 kg. raw product was formed from about 2.1 kg. of treated silicon. The reaction product contained about 2,400 g. of pure dimethyldichlorsilane and 2,170 g. pure methyl trichlorsilane, up to 42 C. about 380 g. were transformed, the rest was distributed to intermediate fractions of 425-50" 0., 50-60 C., -63 C., as well as a residue of 300 g. B. P. over C.
3 (730 mm.). After the expiration of the abovementioned 21 hours 5% of hydrochloric acid was added to the methyl chloride, and there was formed in the course of about the next succeeding 5 hours. at a somewhat" higher temperature; a further kg. raw product, which consisted mainly of methylchlorosilanes. Usually when an iron containing silicon copper alloy of about 6 per cent iron is used, about 3 15g. of silanes are formed from each 10kg. of methyl chloride. I Example. 11V,
An alloy of silicon, copper, and. niclgel whiclg, contains 1400 g. silicon is mixed with"cuprous' chloride.
