Summary
-
1.
We were the first to obtain and characterize di(biphenyl)dimethylgermane.
-
2.
When p-C6H5CH2C6H4Li is reacted with (CH3)2GeCl2, (CH3)2SiCl2 or CO2 one of the reaction products is 1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethane. Its formation indicates the possible autometalation of p-benzylphenyllithium to diphenylmethyllithium.
