Synthesis of Functionalized Vinylgermanes Through a New Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Coupling Reaction.

Abstract

Synthesis of Functionalized Vinylgermanes Through a New Ruthenium-Catalyzed Coupling Reaction. -Vinyl-substituted germanates react stereo-and regioselectively with olefins in the presence of a Ru-complex to give functionalized vinylgermanes that cannot be synthesized by olefin cross-metathesis procedures. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed. -(MARCINIEC*, B.; LAWICKA, H.; MAJCHRZAK, M.; KUBICKI, M.; KOWNACKI, I.; Chem. Eur. J. 12 (2006) 1, 244-250; Dep. Organomet. Chem., Fac.
