An Isolable Three-Coordinate Germanone and Its Reactivity.


ABSTRACT: A rare three-coordinate germanone [IPrN]2 Ge=O (IPrN=bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-imino) was successfully isolated. The germanone has a rather high thermal stability in arene solvent, and no detectable change was observed at 80 °C for at least one week. However, high thermal stability of [IPrN]2 Ge=O does not prevent its reactivity toward small molecules. Structural analysis and initial reactivity studies revealed the highly polarized nature of the terminal Ge=O bond. Besides, the addition of phenylacetylene, as well as O-atom transfer with 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide make it a mimic of nucleophilic transition-metal oxides. Mechanism for O-atom transfer reaction was investigated via DFT calculations, which revealed that the reaction proceeds via a [2+2] cycloaddition intermediate.
