The potential of using organogermatranes in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl iodides has been investigated. We have found that organogermatranes are less reactive in this analogue of Stille coupling than trialkylorganostannanes; nevertheless activation by fluoride promotes the reaction. The hypervalent germanium species produced from the germatranes provide a more efficient and more easily handled reagent than trialkoxygermanium analogues.
