This application concerns a process for alkylating, in a hydrocarbon solvent reaction medium, metalloidal substrates such as alkylating a chlorosilane with an alkyllithium containing 3 to 8 carbon atoms by conducting these reactions in the presence of a catalyst selected from primary and secondary alcohols, and their respective metal alkoxides, cyclic ethers, hydrocarbyl ethers, hydrocarbyl silyl ethers, and tertiary amines. |
