Abstract

Photochemical reactions of vinyl-, styryl-, and benzyl-substituted digermanes were investigated by chemical trapping experiments. Photolysis of vinylpentamethyldigermane afforded 1-trimethyl-2-(pentamethyldigermyl) ethane as a major product, and styrylpentamethyldigermanes gave mainly styryltrimethylgermane. On the other hand, photolysis of benzyl-substituted digermanes (benzylpentamethyldigermane and 1, 2- ...
