We report the synthesis of aromatic germanimines [(HMDS) 2 GeNAr] (Ar = Ph, Mes, Dipp; Mes = 2,4,6-Me 3 C 6 H 2 , Dipp = 2,6-iPr 2 C 6 H 3 ) and an investigation into their associated reactivity. [(HMDS) 2 GeNPh] decomposes above −30 °C, while [(HMDS) 2 GeNDipp] engages in an intramolecular reaction at 60 °C. [(HMDS) 2 GeNMes] was shown to rearrange via a 1,3-silyl migration to give [(HMDS){(SiMe 3 )-(Mes)N}Ge(NSiMe 3 )] in a 1:7 equilibrium mixture at room temperature. These latter germanimines react with unsaturated polar substrates such as CO 2 , ketones, and arylisocyanate via a [2 + 2] cycloaddition pathway.
