T. Nakano et al., PALLADIUM-CATALYZED METATHESIS OF PHENYLALKYLDIGERMANE OR CHLOROALKYLDIGERMANE WITH ALLYLIC CHLORIDES AT ROOM-TEMPERATURE, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 553(1-2), 1998, pp. 493-496
Metathesis of phenylalkyldigermanes (1,2-diphenyltetraethyl-, 1,2-diph
enyltetramethyl-, phenylpentaethyl- or phenylpentamethyldigermane) or
chloroalkyldigermanes (1,2-dichlorotetraethyl- or 1,2-dichlorotetramet
hyldigermane) with allylic chlorides proceeds smoothly even at room te
mperature in the presence of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0)
to afford the corresponding 2-alkenylgermanes in good to high yields.
