Abstract: In a method for synthesizing dialkylaminosilane from a reaction of dialkylamine with chlorosilane as the method for producing dialkylaminosilane, a large amount of dialkylamine hydrochloride is produced as a by-product, in addition to objective dialkylaminosilane. Therefore, upon obtaining objective dialkylaminosilane, reduction of volumetric efficiency caused by a large amount of a solvent is prevented, and dialkylaminosilane is produced at a low cost and in a large amount. Dialkylaminosilane having a small halogen content is produced with high volumetric efficiency by using, as a solvent upon allowing dialkylamine to react with chlorosilane, an aprotic polar solvent having high solubility in dialkylamine hydrochloride and metal chloride each produced as a by-product by the reaction, and straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon having high solubility in dialkylaminosilane and hard to dissolve a halogen compound therein.
