Chemistry of Germanium Atoms. IV. A New Method for Preparation of Organogermanium Halides by Co-condensation of Germanium Vapor with Tetrahydrofuran

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.61.3002

Germanium vapor (atom) when co-condensated with THF at 77 deg K was found to be reactive toward organic halides.Several organogermanium halides were prepared by the addition of organic halides to the resultant germanium atom-THF slurry at ambient temperatures.
