DIOXA- ET DITHIAGERMOLES: SYNTHESE ET QUELQUES ASPECTS DE LEUR REACTIVITE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(85)80424-1

Synthetic methods to obtain new dioxagermoles and dithiagermoles are described.Dioxagermoles decompose to germylenes and α-diketone on thermolysis, and formation of cyclotrigermathianes (R2GeS)3 from dithiagermoles is observed at about 200 deg C via a R2Ge=S intermediate.Exchange reactions between dioxagermoles or dithiagermoles and thiophosgene give a dioxolethione and a dithiolethione, respectively.In the exchange reaction between dithia- and dioxa-germoles with GeCl2*dioxane, formation of new stable unsaturated germylenes is observed.
