Abstract

Abstract The germylenes X 2 Ge, RGeX and R 2 Ge (X= halogen, OR; R= alkyl or aryl) react at room temperature with 3, 5-di-t-butyl orthoquinone by regioselective cycloaddition. The corresponding substituted 2-germa-1, 3-dioxolans are formed similarly in good yields, but their stabilities depend on the substituents on the metal. Some of them have also been synthesized by nucleophilic substitution from the corresponding chlorogermanes and 3, 5- ...
