The cleavage of a silicon-germanium bond in the presence of organometallics has been studied on the optically active compounds MePh(X)SiGePh3 (X=H, OMe).Depending on the nature of the nucleophile, we obtained mixed products, corresponding to the formation of Ph3Ge^-, transient radical-anions, or catalytic reactions.
