Abstract: Silahydrocarbons such as tetraorganosilanes prepared from halo-substituted silanes and an organomagnesium compound in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a cyanide.
Abstract: A tert-hydrocarbyl, e.g. tert-butyl, silyl compound can be synthesized easily according to the method of the invention in which a tert-hydrocarbylmagnesium halide as a Grignard reagent is reacted with a silane compound having at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom and at least one silicon-bonded halogen atom simultaneously in a molecule in a suitable organic solvent so that the halogen atom in the latter reactant is replaced with the tert-hydrocarbyl group in the former reactant to give the desired tert-hydrocarbyl silyl compound in a high yield without the safety problem in the conventional method using a tert-alkyl lithium as the reactant.
Abstract: A mixture of tetraalkylsilanes is prepared by reacting a mixture of at least two organometallic compounds with a silicon tetrahalide or an alkyl silicon trihalide. The mixture of silanes is useful as a hydraulic fluid.

Abstract: Pre-polymers which are alkylated or arylated methylpolysilanes are useful for the preparation of silicon carbide ceramic materials. The pre-polymers exhibit ease of handling and their use to obtain silicon carbide ceramic materials results in high yields.
Abstract: Pre-polymers which are alkoxylated or phenoxylated methylpolysilanes are useful for the preparation of fine grained silicon carbide ceramic materials and silicon carbide-containing ceramics. The pre-polymers exhibit ease of handling and their use to obtain silicon carbide ceramic materials results in high yields.
