(Acetoxymethyl)methylphenylgermane was synthesized by a five-step synthesis starting from trichloro(chloromethyl)germane PhCl2GeCH2Cl -> PhMeGe(Cl)CH2Cl -> PhMeGe(OAc)CH2OAc -> PhMeGe(H)CH2OH -> PhMeGe(H)CH2OAc >.The germane 1c and its carbon analogue PhMeC(H)CH2OAc (1a) are thermally stable (solutions in C6D6; 160 deg C, 48 h), whereas the structurally analogous silane PhMeSi(H)CH2OAc (1b) undergoes a rearrangement upon heating (formation of the silane PhMe2SiOAc; half-life in C6D6 at 135 deg C: 7,7 h).By analogy to the perfume 1a (hydratropyl acetate) and its silicon analogue 1b (sila-hydratropyl acetate), the germane 1c (germa-hydratropyl acetate) exhibits a sweet-floral odor.Despite of some differences, the olfactoric properties of the C/Si/Ge-analogues 1a/1b/1c are mainly characterized by analogies.
