Reaction Steps

Chloropentabutyldigermane having formula 4 of the formula sheet. A mixture of 5.8 g (27.0 mmoles) of germanium tetrachloride and 12.2 g (27.0 mmoles) of hexabutyldigermane was heated for 6.5 hours at 200° C. in a Carius tube. Fractionated distillation yielded 6.0 g of butyltrichlorogermane and 11.2 g of chloropentabutyldigermane; boiling point 130°-131° C./0.06 mm Hg; nD20 =1.4932.
