Palladium-Catalyzed Germylation of Aryl Bromides and Aryl Triflates Using Hexamethyldigermane

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed germylation of aryl bromides and aryl triflates using commercially available hexamethyldigermane is described. Optimized reaction conditions afforded various functionalized aryltrimethylgermanes, including drug-like molecules, in moderate to good yields, demonstrating the versatility of the presented protocols.

Key words

palladium catalysis - germylation - digermane - aryl bromide - aryl triflate
