Palladium-Catalyzed Dehalogenative Germylation of Allylic Halides with Triethlygermyltributylstannane at Room Temperature

Abstract

Triethlygermyltributylstannane was found to react with allylic halides at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd2(dba)3CHCl3 to bring about regioselective dehalogenative germylation giving 2-alkenyltriethylgermanes in good yields. Using triphenylphosphine as a ligand of the palladium caused to slow the rate of the present reaction.
