Heating of Silicon with methyl chloride at high temperature in the Presence of copper produce a mixture of mono, di and tri methylchlorosilanes and tetra methylsilanes.
CH3Cl + Si → CH3SiCl3 + (CH3)2SiCl2 +(CH3)3SiCl + (CH3)4Si

When silicon reacts with methyl chloride in the presence of copper (catalyst) and at a temperature of about 537 K, a class of organosilicon polymers called methyl-substituted chlorosilanes (MeSiCl3, Me2SiCl2, Me3SiCl, and Me4Si) are formed.
