6. Historically, alkylations of halosilane were demonstrated for the first time by using diorganozinc reagents under harsh reaction conditions:

9. Treatment of 1a with zinc fluoride in THF provided Me2PhSiF, which is more reactive toward the nucleophilic substitution with 2a. Thus, the mechanism of activating chlorosilane 1a may be different from that of other zinc salts.
10. The reaction of chlorotriethylsilane proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of silver nitrate, see ref 3.

12. THF was the best solvent in the reactions with vinyl-, benzyl-, and allylmagnesium reagents. 1,4-Dioxane retarded the reactions.
13. Treatment of chloromethyldiphenylsilane with 4-pentenylmagnesium bromide for 3 h provided the desired product in 32% yield in the absence of any zinc salts. However, no acceleration of the reaction was observed even when zinc salts were added.
