- Insertion reactions of dimethylgermylene, Me2Ge, and their mechanisms as studied by CIDNP
-
The insertion of germylenes into carbon-halogen bonds is shown to occur, in the case of thermally generated Me2Ge and benzyl bromide, via a cage abstraction-recombination reaction, giving typical 1H CIDNP effects proving the singlet state of Me2Ge. Besides, an abstraction reaction of escaped ·GeMe2Br yields Me2GeBr2 also showing 1H CIDNP effects, followed by an one-step insertion of Me2Ge into Ge-Br bonds of Me2GeBr2, giving oligogermanes without 1H CIDNP effects.
