Photochemical Reactions of Vinyl-, Styryl- and Benzyl-Substituted Digermanes

Photochemical reactions of vinyl-, styryl- and benzyl-substituted digermanes 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-dibenzyltetramethyldigermane) gave hydrogermanes and hydrodigermanes as main products, respectively.These products were derived from germyl radicals generated by photoinduced homolysis of the germanium-germanium bond.In carbon tetra chloride (CCl4), these germyl radicals were converted to the corresponding chlorogermanes by abstraction of a chlorine atom.Germylene species were also to be evolved from such photolyses.
