The large‐scale production of methylchloromonosilanes by the Müller–Rochow Direct Process represents an entry into the silicone industry. Along with the main product Me 2 SiCl 2 , thousands of tons of an undesired residue that mainly consists of methylchlorodisilanes are generated annually. Phosphonium chloride promoted disilane cleavage turns the obvious drawback of the Direct Process into a valuable bifunctional monosilane asset, thus increasing economic value and reducing environmental pollution.
