ChemInform Abstract: Reactions of Germanium‐Nitrogen Compounds (Germylamines, Cyclogermazanes, and Germaimine Intermediates) with 3,5‐Di(tert‐butyl)orthoquinone.

Abstract

The germylamine (II) is treated with the o‐quinone (I) mentioned in the title.

Recent developments in heterocyclic systems with a Si–M′–Ge or Ge–M′–Ge linkage (M′ = Fe, Ru, or Co)

“…Thus, these additions, which are very similar to the reaction of quinones or tetracyanoethylene with group 14 metal-hydride [42-461 or with group 14 metal-nitrogen [47] compounds, proceed probably through a one electron transfer mechanism (Scheme 1 1). The transient semiquinonic radical involved can be detected by ESR spectroscopy, either as the anion radical or ion paired with the metal.…”

“…(8) [2+3] decomposition of a germatetrazole [32,33], (9) reaction of a germene with diazofluorene or diphenyldiazomethane leading to a transient germaimine and fluorenyl-or diphenylcarbene [36]. (10) dehydrochlorination of a chlorogermylamine by an alkyllithium or by DBU [34,35]. reaction between a silylsodium and a chlorosilylazide with rearrangement involving the migration of a silyl group on a nitrogen.…”
