Description
METHOD OF PREPARING COMPOUNDS OF SILICON AND HYDROGEN, ESPECIALLY SOLON
The present invention concerns a method of pro-paring compounds of silicon and hydrogen, especially Solon (Sue), which is employed commercially for the manufacture of high-purity silicon.
There are two conventional methods of synthesizing Solon: the protolytic decomposition of magnesium solaced (Mg2Si) and the reaction of tetrachlorosilane with metal Hyde rides (Gmelin, _and_uch d. an_rg. them., Six Supply .1, 59 [1982]). The advantage of the latter method is that the sit-aye is free of undesirable contaminants, especially higher sullenness.
Since the discovery of lithium aluminum hydrides (Lyle) and its application to the synthesis of metal Hyde rides and other elementary hydrides (Funneled, Bond, Wilzbach Schlesinger, _ Amer. Chum. Sock 69, 2962 [1947]), the no-action of Seiko with Lyle has been considered the simplest and best laboratory method of preparing Solon (Norman, Webster, & Jolly, Inorg. Sync 11, 170 [1968]). Solon pro-pared by this method can be employed to manufacture silicon for the semiconductor and solar-cell industry because it is free of boron-hydrogen compounds and higher sullenness (Gmelin, Handbuch, foe. cit., 63). This reaction, however, is too ox-___ ___ pensive on an industrial scale because of the high price of Lyle. Many attempts have been made during the last 20 to 25 ~2~8828 years to substitute less expensive metal hydrides, complex if necessary, for the appropriate but costly Lyle. Zakharkin et at. (Bull Aged. Sat. USSR, Chum. Sat. Div. 1962, 1784) and Anti pin it allege. Apply Chum. USSR 42, 416 [1969]) report_ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ that Seiko, HSiC13, and alkoxysilane react with Noel or Cole in THY or diglyme even at low temperatures to form sit-aye in a good yield. Nothing is known about the industrial application of this method to the synthesis of Solon.
It is significant in relation to the present invent lion that the known methods for the production of Solon do not employ the simple binary hydrides of the alkali and alkaline-earth metals, like Nay, MgH2, and Kiwi, as such, but only after they have been converted into complex aluminum hydrides by reaction with Alec (GO Pat. 832 333, KIWI. 16765 [1960]; Vim et at., Czech 126 672 [1962, 68], KIWI. 70 39392 [1969]) or in the presence of silane-production activators or catalysts or both. This it probably because of the low Sealab-islet or reactivity or both of binary metal hydrides prepared from the chemical elements at high temperatures and pros-surest Zinc halides, zinc hydrides, and zinc alkyds or zinc oxide (GO Pat. 909 950, KIWI. 58, 2185 [1963]) and metallic zinc or zinc alloys or both (US Pat. 3 050 366, KIWI. 58, 280 [1963]) have been proposed as catalysts for the reaction of Nay, Kiwi, or MgH2 with Seiko. The ZnC12 used as a "catalyst"
in the reaction of Seiko with Nay in THY is added, however, in a mole ration of ZnC12:SiC14 = 1:2, which is almost stoichiometric. Alkyds of boron or aluminum (German Pat.
i2~8828 034 159, KIWI. 56, 16764; Junker, Chemiker Zig. 85, 264-72 [1961]) and hydrides of boron or aluminum German Pat. 1 085 505, KIWI. 21505 [1961]; German Pat. 1 096 341, KIWI. 26388 [1961]) have also been proposed catalysts of activators for the manufacture of Sue from Seiko and Nay, although this en-tails the risk of contaminating the resulting Solon with us-desired alkyd sullenness (as activators in the case of Allure) or boron compounds (in the case of boron activators). USSR
Patent 126 672, KIWI. 84, 166821 (1976) admittedly avoids these drawbacks by employing Noel as an activator.
Special note should be made of the experimental production of Solon with magnesium hydrides disclosed in GO
Patent 909 950, which expressly declares magnesium hydrides to be unsuited to the preparation of high-purity Solon by reaction with halogensilanes.
It will be obvious from the above that a simple and cost-effective industrial-scale method of employing binary metal hydrides to manufacture Solon by reaction with halo-gensilanes does not as yet exist.
European Patent 0 003 564 discloses a method em-plying homogeneous transition metal catalysts to hydrogenate metallic magnesium subject to mild reaction conditions into magnesium hydrides that, in contrast to a hydrides prepared by the conventional method of high-temperature hydrogenation, is highly reactive. In this method, the magnesium is converted with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst consisting of a halide of a metal of Subgroups IV-VIII of the periodic table ~Z~88;Z~8 and an organomagnesium compound or a magnesium hydrides and optionally in the presence of a polycyclic aromatic compound or a tertiary amine and optionally in the presence of a mug-noisome halide, MgX2 in which X = Of, Bra or I.
It has now been discovered, surprisingly, that the magnesium hydrides this method makes so easy to obtain is out-standingly suited to the manufacture of sullenness from twitter-chlorosilane or other chlorosilanes without any additional catalysts or activators.
The reaction occurs, even at room temperature or slightly higher (50-70C), in a cyclic or linear ether or in a polyether like THY or 1,2-dimethyoxyethane as a solvent and results in a high yield of the corresponding Solon.
In combination with the above-mentioned synthesis of magnesium hydrides this results in a two-stage synthesis of Solon from the inexpensive raw materials My, Ho, and Seiko:
catalyst My + Ho ~~~~~~~~~ MgH2 activator and 2MgH2 + Sill -------I Six + 2 McCauley - or Jo - 5 -~L21~8;~8 Another advantage of this method is that the mug-noisome can be hydrogenated and the MgH2 subsequently reacted with the Seiko in a single vessel with THY as the reaction medium.
MgH2 obtained by the method disclosed in European Patent 0 003 564 can also be isolated in solid form and then reacted with a chlorosilane, Seiko for example, in another appropriate solvent.
The invention will now be specified with reference to the following examples but without being restricted to them.
Example 1 The apparatus consisted of a three-necked 100-m~
flask equipped with a dropping funnel, internal thermometer, magnetic stirrer, and cold finger ( 78C) and connected to a mercury-filled gas burette. 0.68 g of magnesium hydrides pro-pared by the method disclosed in European Patent 0 003 564 (according to example 1, but using Tokyo instead of Crook) with the titanium catalyst were placed in an argon atmosphere in the apparatus and covered with a layer of 20 my of Abe solute THY. A solution of 1.04 g (0.7 my , 6.1 moles) of Seiko in 20 my of THY was dripped into the suspension of MgH2 while it was being stirred at room temperature. The reaction mixture was slowly heated. Gas started to form at about 40C
and its volume was determined with the burette. Reaction heat temporarily increased the temperature of the reaction mixture I; - 6 -~2~81328 to 65C. 134 my of gas (20C and 1 bar) had formed by the end of the reaction. Mass spectrometer of the gas revealed that it contained 20.9 mole Sue (the remainder being argon). In terms of the total volume of the apparatus, the yield of Sue was 80%.
Example 2 The test was conducted as in Example 1 with a sup-pension of MgH2 in THY that had been prepared in situ (lit-annum catalyst). The MgH2 started to react with the Seiko to form Sue at temperatures as low as 25-28C. The yield of Sue was 76~.
Example 3 The apparatus consisted of a three-necked I flask equipped with a dropping funnel, internal thermometer, mug-netic stirrer, and reflex condenser (methyl alcohol, 10C) and connected to a cold trap (-78C). 18.56 g of magnesium hydrides prepared by the method disclosed in European Patent 0 003 564 (according to example 1, but using Tokyo instead of Crook) with the titanium catalyst were placed in an argon at-misfire in the apparatus and covered with a layer of 250 ml of absolute 1,2-dimethoxyethane. A solution of 107.20 g (126 my , 0.99 moles) of (CH3)SiCl in 100 my of 1,2-dimethoxy-ethanes was dripped for 3 hours into the suspension of MgH2 while it was being stirred. The temperature of the mixture increased to 25-27C. When all the (CH3)SiCl had been added, I
~Z1~38Z13 the reaction mixture was briefly heated to the boiling point within the current of argon. The yield of trimethylsilane by = 6.7C) condensing in the cold trap was 80%.
It will be understood that the specification and examples are illustrative but not limitative of the present invention and that other embodiments within the spirit and scope of the invention will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art.

In combination with the above-mentioned synthesis of magnesium hydrides this results in a two-stage synthesis of Solon from the inexpensive raw materials My, Ho, and Seiko:
catalyst My + Ho ~~~~~~~~~ MgH2 activator and 2MgH2 + Sill -------I Six + 2 McCauley - or Jo - 5 -~L21~8;~8 Another advantage of this method is that the mug-noisome can be hydrogenated and the MgH2 subsequently reacted with the Seiko in a single vessel with THY as the reaction medium.
MgH2 obtained by the method disclosed in European Patent 0 003 564 can also be isolated in solid form and then reacted with a chlorosilane, Seiko for example, in another appropriate solvent.
The invention will now be specified with reference to the following examples but without being restricted to them.
Example 1 The apparatus consisted of a three-necked 100-m~
flask equipped with a dropping funnel, internal thermometer, magnetic stirrer, and cold finger ( 78C) and connected to a mercury-filled gas burette. 0.68 g of magnesium hydrides pro-pared by the method disclosed in European Patent 0 003 564 (according to example 1, but using Tokyo instead of Crook) with the titanium catalyst were placed in an argon atmosphere in the apparatus and covered with a layer of 20 my of Abe solute THY. A solution of 1.04 g (0.7 my , 6.1 moles) of Seiko in 20 my of THY was dripped into the suspension of MgH2 while it was being stirred at room temperature. The reaction mixture was slowly heated. Gas started to form at about 40C
and its volume was determined with the burette. Reaction heat temporarily increased the temperature of the reaction mixture I; - 6 -~2~81328 to 65C. 134 my of gas (20C and 1 bar) had formed by the end of the reaction. Mass spectrometer of the gas revealed that it contained 20.9 mole Sue (the remainder being argon). In terms of the total volume of the apparatus, the yield of Sue was 80%.
Example 2 The test was conducted as in Example 1 with a sup-pension of MgH2 in THY that had been prepared in situ (lit-annum catalyst). The MgH2 started to react with the Seiko to form Sue at temperatures as low as 25-28C. The yield of Sue was 76~.
Example 3 The apparatus consisted of a three-necked I flask equipped with a dropping funnel, internal thermometer, mug-netic stirrer, and reflex condenser (methyl alcohol, 10C) and connected to a cold trap (-78C). 18.56 g of magnesium hydrides prepared by the method disclosed in European Patent 0 003 564 (according to example 1, but using Tokyo instead of Crook) with the titanium catalyst were placed in an argon at-misfire in the apparatus and covered with a layer of 250 ml of absolute 1,2-dimethoxyethane. A solution of 107.20 g (126 my , 0.99 moles) of (CH3)SiCl in 100 my of 1,2-dimethoxy-ethanes was dripped for 3 hours into the suspension of MgH2 while it was being stirred. The temperature of the mixture increased to 25-27C. When all the (CH3)SiCl had been added, I
~Z1~38Z13 the reaction mixture was briefly heated to the boiling point within the current of argon. The yield of trimethylsilane by = 6.7C) condensing in the cold trap was 80%.
It will be understood that the specification and examples are illustrative but not limitative of the present invention and that other embodiments within the spirit and scope of the invention will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art.
