Abstract
Dimethyldichlorosilane is directly prepared from methyl chloride and silicon, in high productivity, selectivity and degree of silicon conversion, by reacting methyl chloride with a solid contact mass comprising silicon and a catalytically effective amount of a catalyst which includes (1) elemental copper or a copper compound, (2) from about 30 to 1,000 ppm (calculated as metallic tin and/or antimony) of at least one of the metals tin and antimony, or at least one compound of at least one of the metals tin and antimony, and (3) from about 0.05 to 2% by weight, (calculated as alkali metal) of at least one of the alkali metals lithium, sodium, potassium and rubidium, or compound thereof, the amounts of said components (2) and (3) being based upon the total weight of said solid contact mass.
