Silyl Halides
Organosilyl halides are important reagents in organic chemistry notably trimethylsilyl chloride Me3SiCl. A classic method called the Flood reaction for the synthesis of this compound class is by heating hexaalkyldisiloxanes R3SiOSiR3 with concentrated sulfuric acid and a sodium halide. Other relevant silyl halides are dichloromethylphenylsilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane, (4-aminobutyl)diethoxymethylsilane, trichloro(chloromethyl)silane, trichloro(dichlorophenyl)silane, trichloroethylsilane, trichlorophenylsilane and trimethylchlorosilane
