Abstract
Reaction of the lithium alcoholales of 1-vinylcyclohexanol (2a), (±)-linalool (2b), and 1-octen-3-ol (2c) with (dimethylphenylgermyl)trimethylsilane (3a) gave selectively the corresponding allyldimethylphenylgermane derivatives (5a,c,e). Similar treatment with dimethylphenyl(trimethylgermyl)silane (3b) gave mixtures of the allyltrimethylgermanes (5b,d,f) and allyldimethylphenylsilanes (7b,d,f), whereas use of the potassium alcoholales afforded selectively 5b,d,f.
