Abstract

Summary: Under microwave irradiation, alkyl-or arylhalogermanes RnGeX4-,(R= Et, Bu, Ph; X= C1, Br) are obtained by redistribution reactions of R4Ge with GeX4. These experimental conditions permit the synthesis of such compounds in good yield in a few minutes at atmospheric pressure. The direct Friedel-Crafts germylation of benzene and toluene by germanium tetrachloride also has been performed, but yields were low.
