Abstract Germyl derivatives of N-2, 4, 6-trifluoroaniline were synthesized either by dehydrohalogenation between halogermanes and 2, 4, 6-trifluoroaniline over DBU (1, 8- diazabicyclo [5.4. 0] undec-7-ene) or by elimination between halogermanes and 2, 4, 6- trifluoroanilinolithium. Dimesitylfluorogermyl N-2, 4, 6-trifluoroanilino-lithium stabilized by THF slowly eliminated lithium fluoride leading to 2, 4 (2, 4, 6-trifluorophenyl)-1, 3- ...
