S. Mazieres et al., STUDY ON GERMA HETEROCYCLES SYNTHESIZED F ROM SALICYCLIC AND RELATED ACIDS, Synthesis and reactivity in inorganic and metal-organic chemistry, 25(2), 1995, pp. 183-198
The syntheses of five or six membered germa heterocycles are described
by two different methods. These derivatives were characterized by H-1
and C-13 NMR and mass spectrometry. Their thermal decomposition was s
tudied. These germa-heterocycle structures are, according to their siz
e, precursors of germylenes or germanones. An original synthesis of di
alkyl or diaryl germaoxalates is also described. These derivatives are
good precursors of dialkyl(aryl)germylenes.
