     The present inventors reported a preparation method of allylchlorosilanes by directly reacting silicon metal simultaneously with allyl chloride and hydrogen chloride in the presence of copper catalyst at a temperature from 220° C. to 350° C. Allyldichlorosilane was obtained as the major product indicating one mole of each reactant reacted with the same silicon atom (U.S. Pat. No. 5,338,876 (Aug. 16, 1994)). The present inventors also reported that the Friedel-Crafts type addition of allylchlorosilanes to substituted benzenes in the presence of aluminum chloride catalyst to give 3-phenyl-1-silabutanes. (Korean Patent application No. 92-12996(Jul. 21. 1992 )) In this reaction double alkylated products are produced when sufficient substituted benzenes were not used. ##STR3## 
     Wherein X 1  represents hydrogen or methyl and X 2  represents hydrogen, alkyl(C 1  -C 4 ), fluoro, chloro, bromo, phenyl or phenoxy group and X represents hydrogen or chloro group. 
     Nametkin and his co-workers reported that the Friedel-Crafts type addition of allylchlorosilanes to mono substituted benzenes to give 3-phenyl-1-silabutanes. (N. S. Nametkin, V. M. Vdovin, E. S. Finkelshtein, V. D. Oppengeium, and N. A. Chekalina, Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser.

The yield of 1:1 alkylated products was about 60% and the double adducts of bis(silylpropyl)benzenes were also obtained. ##STR4## 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to bis(silylpropyl)arenes represented by the formula I and their preparation methods by reacting aromatic compounds represented by the formula II or III with allylchlorosilanes represented by the formula IV in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts such as aluminum chloride; ##STR5## wherein R 1  and R 2  which may be the same or different represent hydrogen, chloro or --(CH 2  CH 2 )--R 3  (wherein R 3  is Ph, CH 2  Cl, C n  H 2n  CH 3  (n=0-15), CF 3 , CH 2  CF 3 , Si(Me) m  Cl 3-m  (m=0-3), CN, CH 2  CN, (p--Ph)--CH 2  Cl or 3-cyclohexenyl group); Ar represents phenyl ring, phenoxyphenyl ring, or biphenyl ring: X 1  represents hydrogen or methyl; and X 2  represents hydrogen, alkyl(C 1  -C 4 ), fluoro, chloro, bromo, phenyl or phenoxy group. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The bis(silylpropyl)arenes represented by the formula I, produced by the present invention can be classified into two groups. One of them is symmetric bis(silypropyl)arenes wherein R 1  and R 2  are the same and the other is asymmetric bis(silypropyl)arenes wherein R l  and R 2  are different from each other. 
     The symmetric bis(silylpropyl)arenes are produced by reacting the aromatic compounds represented by formula II with two moles of allylchlorosilanes represented by formula IV in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum chloride. ##STR6## 
     In this equation R 1  and R 2  are same and Ar, X 1 , and X 2  are same as defined above. 
     The allylchlorosilanes represented by formula IV wherein R 1  is hydrogen or chloro are obtained from the direct reaction of silicon metal simultaneously with allyl chloride and hydrogen chloride in the presence of copper catalyst. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,338,876 (Aug. 16, 1994)) The allylchlorosilanes wherein R 1  is --(CH 2  CH 2 )--R 3  (wherein R 3  is Ph, CH 2  Cl, C n  H 2n  CH 3  (n=0-15), CF 3 , CH 2  CF 3 , Si(Me) m  Cl 3-m  (m=0-3), CN, CH 2  CN, (p--Ph)--CH 2  Cl or 3-cyclohexenyl group) are obtained from the hydrosilylation of allyldichlorosilane with olefins having R 3  group in the presence of platinum catalyst. (Korean Patent application No. 93-26069 (Dec. 1, 1993)) ##STR7## 
     The symmetric bis(silylpropyl)arenes may be also produced by reacting the (2-arylpropyl)chlorosilanes or (2-arylpropyl)alkylchlorosilanes represented by formula III with one mole of allylchlorosilanes represented by formula IV wherein R 1  of the compound of formula IV and R 2  of the compound of formula III are the same in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum chloride. The (2-arylpropyl)chlorosilanes are obtained from the 1:1 Friedel-Crafts type alkylation of allyldichlorosilane with aromatic compounds in the presence of aluminum chloride catalyst. (Korean Patent application No. 92-12996(Jul. 21, 1992)) The (2-arylpropyl)alkylchlorosilanes are obtained from the hydrosilylation of (2-arylpropyl)chlorosilanes with olefins having R 3  group wherein R 3  is same as defined above in the presence of platinum catalyst. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,386,050 (Jan. 31, 1995)) ##STR8## 
     Wherein X 1 , X 2  and R 3  are same as defined above. 
     The asymmetric bis(silylpropyl)arenes may be produced by the following two methods. The first method is the Friedel-Crafts type alkylation reaction of the (2-arylpropyl)chlorosilanes represented by formula III, wherein R 2  is hydrogen or chloro group, with one mole of allylchlorosilanes represented by formula IV, wherein R 1  is --(CH 2  CH 2 )--R 3  (wherein R 3  is Ph, CH 2  Cl, CH 2  CH 3  (n=0-15), CF 3 , CF 2  CF 3 , Si(Me) m  Cl 3-m  (m=0-3), CN, CH 2  CN, (p--Ph)--CH 2  Cl or 3-cyclohexenyl group), in the presence of aluminum chloride catalyst. The allylalkyldichlorosilanes are obtained from the hydrosilylation of allyldichlorosilane with olefins having R 3  group wherein R 3  is the same as defined above in the presence of platinum catalyst (Korean Patent Application No. 93-26069 (Dec. 1, 1993)). 
     The second method is the Friedel-Crafts type alkylation reaction of the (2-arylpropyl)alkylchlorosilanes represented by formula III, wherein R 2  is --(CH 2  CH 2 )--R 3  (wherein R 3  is Ph, CH 2  Cl, C n  H 2n  CH 3  (n=0-15), CF 3 , CH 2  CF 3 , Si(Me) m  Cl 3-m  (m=0-3), CN, CH 2  CN, (p--Ph)--CH 2  Cl or 3-cyclohexenyl group) with one mole of allylchlorosilanes represented by formula IV, wherein R 1  is hydrogen or chloro group, in the presence of aluminum chloride catalyst. Allyldichlorosilane are obtained as the major product from the directly reaction of silicon metal with a mixture of allylchloride and hydrogen chloride in the presence of copper catalyst at a temperature from 220° C. to 350° C. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,338,876 (Aug. 16, 1994)). 
     The preparation of bissilylarenes according to the present invention can be run in standard labaratory glasswares or commercial equipments, under inert atmosphere, with units for external heating and cooling, stirring, and for incremental addition of the start silanes or olefins. The reaction can be carried out in most of nonaromatic or nonprotic solvents, but it also proceeds in neat condition when the aromatic compounds are not solid. In a typical preparation, the aromatic compounds represented by formula II or III and aluminum chloride catalyst are placed in the reactor under inert atmospnere. Aluminum chloride is the best catalyst and can be used alone or in conjunction with other Lewis acid such as chlorides of zinc, boron, titanium, iron, tin, cadmium, and antimony. The allylchlorosilane compounds are then slowly added to the solution with stirring at the reaction temperature between 0° C. and 30° C. Since the alkylation reactions are exothermic, external cooling may be necessary to maintain the reaction temperature. After completion of addition, the solution may be kept stirring for a certain period of time to complete the alkylation and then the products may be fractionally distilled at atmosphere or under vacuum. 
     The invention will be further illustrated by the following examples. It is, however, not intended that this invention will be limited by the examples.

     EXAMPLE 11 
     Preparation of bis[(2&#39;-hexyldichlorosilyl)isopropyl]benzene 
     In the stone apparatus and procedures as EXAMPLE 1, 1.0 g (11 mmol) of benzene and 0.13 g (1.0 mmol) of aluminum chloride as the catalyst were placed and reacted with 5.4 g (22 mmol) of 4,4-dichloro-4-sila-1-decene under the dry nitrogen atmosphere for 20 min. After stirring the solution for another an hour, 1.0 g (17 mmol) of sodium chloride was added to reaction mixture, warmed up to 50° C. and stirred for another two hours to deactivate the catalyst. Vacuum distillation of the solution gave 3.3 g (bp 175°-182° C./0.3 mmHg) of bis[(2&#39;-hexyldichlorosilyl)isopropyl]benzene in 57% yield.
