Abstract: The reaction of hexaethyldigermane with allylic halides proceeded regioselectively in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd2(dba)3 at temperatures of 120 °C ∼ 170 °C and gave allylgermanes in 42 ∼ 95% yields. The results indicate that the present reaction proceeds predominately through an SN2-type mechanism over an SN2′-type one.
