The previously unknown disilanes 1,1,2-trichlorotri(1-naphthyl)disilane and 1,2-dichlorotetra(1-naphthyl)disilane were prepared by the reaction of 1-lithionaphthalenide with hexachlorodisilane. Reduction with LiAlH 4 afforded 1,1,2-tri(1-naphthyl)disilane. Treatment of 1,2-di(1-naphthyl)disilane and 1,1,2-tri(1-naphthyl)disilane with liquid hydrogen chloride gave ClH 2 SiSiH 2 Cl and ClH 2 SiSiHCl 2 in quantitative yields, along with naphthalene. The chlorodisilanes were easily separated and purified by fractional condensation.
