Summary
-
1.
From(chloromethyl)trimethylgermane, (trimethylgermyl)methanol,its methyl ether, and its acetic, acrylic, and methacrylic esters were synthesized for the first time. Dimethyl (trimethylgermylmethyl)malonate was also prepared.
-
2.
(Chloromethyl)trimethylgermane readily forms a Grignard reagent, and from this (trimethylgermyl)-acetic acid, 3-butenyltrimethylgermane, and other compounds were prepared.
-
3.
When (chloromethyl)trimethylgermane is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, methane is liberated quantitatively, and subsequent treatment with water gives bischloromethyltetramethyldigermanoxane.
-
4.
Under the action of aluminum chloride (chloromethyl)trimethylgermane undergoes rearrangement into chloroethyldimethylgermane.
-
5.
Reactions based on (chloromethyl)trimethylgermane show no differences in principle from the analogous reactions with (chloromethyl)trimethylsilane.
