Bimolecular reactions of alkyl halides and acylgermanes: Formation of ketones, diketones, and other products by radical-radical reaction

, p. 9 - 12 (1997)
Reactions of alkyl halides (R1X) with acyltriphenylgermanes (R2COGePh3) under radical conditions provide mixtures of ketones (R1COR2), diketones (R2COCOR2), alkanes (R1H) and alkenes. These products arise from radical-radical reactions, and the results suggest that bimolecular addition reactions of alkyl radicals to acylgermanes are too slow to propagate radical chains.
