PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HYDROGEN SILANES

摘要

Hydrogenosilanes, notably the monosilanes, are conveniently prepared by reducing a halogenosilane with an alkali or alkaline earth metal hydride, typically in a solvent reaction medium, in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a sequestering agent having the general formula: N-[CHR1-CHR2-O-(CHR3-CHR4-O)n-R5]3.
