Abstract
A process for the production of monosilanes from the high-boiling residue resulting from the reaction of organochlorides with silicon metalloid in a process typically referred to as the 'direct process.' The present process comprises forming a mixture comprising an organosilane and the high-boiling residue and contacting the mixture in the presence of hydrogen gas with a catalytic amount of a catalyst composition effective in promoting the formation of monosilanes from the high-boiling residue. A preferred catalyst composition comprises aluminum trichloride, at least a portion of which may be formed in situ during conduct of the direct process and isolation of the high-boiling residue.
