“…This reaction is carried out in the presence of ammonium sulfate, which prevents the reverse reaction of the organochlorosilane with sulfuric acid: (2.186) Reaction (2.186) is used to prepare trialkylhalosilanes, when the bis(triorganosilyl) sulfate is treated with an ammonium halide instead of a hydrogen halide [9,315,363,436,448,565,657,662,666,667,679]. This eliminates the need to prepare the dry hydrogen halide beforehand, and the need to add ammonium sulfate, since the latter is formed directly in the reaction mixture during the process itself.…”
