Catalytic Synthesis of Cyclic and Linear Germoxanes Mediated by an Iron Complex
摘要:
Six-membered cyclic germoxanes (R2GeO)(3) were selectively prepared via the thermal reaction of (alkyl)(2)-GeH2 in dimethylformamide (DMF). Linear metallagermoxanes with an E-O-Ge-O-E backbone (E = Si, Ge, Sn) were prepared by the reaction of Ph2GeH2 with R3EH in DMF. Their cyclic and linear germoxane formations were achieved using an iron catalyst, (eta(5)-C5H5)Fe(CO)(2)Me. An iron carbene complex was proposed to be an intermediate in the catalytic reaction.
