Abstract
The reaction of bisgermavinylidene [(Me3SiN=PPh 2)2C=Ge→Ge=C(PPh2=NSiMe3) 2] (1) with AdNCO (Ad = Adamantyl) afforded the [2 + 2] cycloadditon product [(Me3SiN=PPh2)2CGeC(O) NAd] (2). Similar reaction of 1 with Ph3SiOH in tetrahydrofuran (THF) yielded the base-stabilized germanium(II) triphenylsiloxide [H2C(PPh 2=NSiMe3)2Ge(OSiPh3)2] (3). The results suggested that reactive germavinylidene may exist in solution and is capable of forming addition reaction products. The X-ray structures of 2 and 3 were determined.
