Summary

  1. 1.

    We have shown the high reducing power of trichlorogermane and its etherates with respect to various inorganic and organic compounds (for example, FeCl3, ArNO2) which is connected with the structure of these germanium compounds and their tendency to generate divalent germanium.

  2. 2.

    The presence in the molecule of reduced aromatic nitro compound of an atom of halogen, a sulfonyl group, a multiple carbon-carbon bond or other functional groups does not prevent almost quantitative selective conversion of the nitro group to an amino group.
