Mechanistic Dichotomy of Magnesium- and Zinc-Based Germanium Nucleophiles in the C(sp3)?Ge Cross-Coupling with Alkyl Electrophiles

Robust procedures for two mechanistically distinct C(sp3)?Ge bond formations from alkyl electrophiles and germanium nucleophiles are reported. The germanium reagents were made available as bench-stable solutions by lithium-to-magnesium and lithium-to-zinc transmetalation, respectively. The germanium Grignard reagent reacts with various primary and secondary alkyl electrophiles by an ionic nucleophilic displacement. Conversely, the coupling of the corresponding zinc reagent requires a nickel catalyst, which then engages in radical bond formations with primary, secondary, and even tertiary alkyl bromides. Both methods avoid the regioselectivity issue of alkene hydrogermylation and enable the synthesis of a wide range of functionalized alkyl-substituted germanes.

Stannyl-Lithium: A Facile and Efficient Synthesis Facilitating Further Applications

We have developed a highly efficient, practical, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-catalyzed synthesis of stannyl lithium (Sn-Li), in which the tin resource (stannyl chloride or distannyl) is rapidly and quantitatively transformed into Sn-Li reagent at room temperature without formation of any (toxic) byproducts. The resulting Sn-Li reagent can be stored at ambient temperature for months and shows high reactivity toward various substrates, with quantitative atom efficiency.

On the structural diversity of [K(18-crown-6)EPh3] complexes (E = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb): Synthesis, crystal structures and NOESY NMR study

A series of homologous potassium triphenylelement complexes [K(18-crown-6)EPh3] 6a-e of group 14 elements (E = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) was synthesised by alkoxide induced heterolytic cleavage of boron-element compounds. The complexes 6a-e are isolated as storable solids possibly useful as sources of nucleophilic [EPh3]- moieties. The solid state structures of 6a-e were established by X-ray crystal structure determination. Whilst all structures can be described as polymeric chains consisting of alternating [K(18-crown-6)]+ and [EPh3]- units, the interaction within each chain varies systematically with the coordination properties of E. For Si and Ge, classical E-K coordination along with secondary phenyl-K interactions are characteristic, whilst for Sn and Pb, potassium coordination via the phenyl π-system is observed due to inefficient coordination by the free electron pair localised in an 'inert' s-orbital. The carbon derivative is exceptional as the central sp2-hybridised carbon atom gives rise to extensive charge delocalisation and coordination via these partially charged π-systems. A 1H-1H NOESY NMR spectroscopic study in THF-d8 suggests appreciable anion/cation interactions for Si to Pb and hence the presence of contact ion pairs.
