Abstract

New convenient methods of sila-and germatranes synthesis from ethoxy-and tetraorganylsilanes and-germanes have been elaborated. The reaction of ethoxysilanes with boratrane in the presence of catalytic amounts of metal alcoholates has been investigated. Dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent and NaOEt as a catalyst used instead of xylene and Al (Oi− Pr) 3 were found to give better yields. The possibility of using alkoxy-, ...
