Abstract

The importance of free-radical pathways in substitution reactions of secondary bromides with RGeLi (R = CH, CH) reagents is indicated strongly by determinations of product stereochemistry in cyclohexyl systems and cyclization of the 6-hepten-2-yl moiety to yield [(2- methylcyclopentyl)methyl]germanes, with the appropriate cis/trans ratio. Appropriate comparisons are made with the corresponding organotinlithium reagents.
