| Research Abstract |
The structure and reactivity of lithium(germyl)triphenylborates, prepared from unsolvated germyllithium and triphenylboran, with organic substrates in methanol were investigated. The germylborates reacted with acetylenes, organic halides, and acyl halides to give the corresponding germyl-substituted compounds. From the reaction with carbonyl compounds, esters, carboxylic acids, and alkenes, germylborates were completely recovered.
