A study of the catalytic influence of aluminum halides on the disproportionation of organosilanes showed that their catalytic action increases in the series AlF/sub 3/ < AlCl/sub 3/ < AlI/sub 3/ < AlBr/sub 3/. The presence of chlorides of the alkali metals does not reduce the catalytic activity of aluminum halides. The directions of exchange H/R, Ph/R, and Cl/R (R = H, Me, Cl, CH=CH/sub 2/, CH/sub 2/CH=CH/sub 2/) predominant in the disproportionation of organosilanes; the activity series of the radicals for each direction of exchange were determined. For silanes with the composition Ph/sub n/Me/sub 3-n/SiR (R = H, Cl) the rate of exchange of hydrogen increases with increasing n, while the rate of exchange of chlorine drops.
