Anchimer beschleunigte Homolysen, V. Thermische und Fluoridionen‐katalysierte Umlagerungen von Benzyl)‐[9‐(trimethylgermyl)‐9‐fluorenyl]‐ether

Anchimerically Enhanced Homolyses, V. Fluoride Ion Catalysed Rearrangements of Benzyl 9-(Trimethylgermyl)-9-fluorenyl Ether The thermal rearrangement (homolysis) of the germanium compound 1d into 4d is considerably slower than that of the analogous Si compound 1c. Thus, a correlation is suggested between the velocity of the rearrangement and the strength of the new bond to oxygen. The rearrangement 1d4d is also induced by fluoride ions at room temperature.
