Reaction of bis(triethylsilyl)- and bis(triethylgermyl)mercury with esters of α-bromocarboxylic acids

ConclusionsA method was developed for obtaining the O-silylated acetals of ketenes and the esters of α-germylated carboxylic acids, which is based on the reaction of the esters of α-bromocarboxylic acids with bis(triethylsilyl)- and bis(triethylgermyl)mercury.

New synthesis of functionally substituted bis(silylmethyl)-mercury compounds

ConclusionsA general method was developed for the synthesis of bis(silylmethyl)mercury compounds, which is based on the photoinitiated chain free-radical reaction of bis(triethylsilyl)- and bis(triethylgermyl)mercury with chloromethylsilanes.

Reaction of α-bromo ketones with bis(triethylsilyl)- and bis(triethylgermyl)mercury

Conclusions1. The reaction of bis (triethylsilyl)mercury with α-bromoacetophenone, its halo-substituted derivatives, and 1-bromo-1-phenyl-2-propanone gave the corresponding triethylsilyl ethers of enols. In the case of bis(triethylgermyl)mercury, depending on the employed α-bromo ketone, either the enol ether or a mixture of the O- and C-germylation products is formed.

New method for the synthesis of functionally-substituted bis(silylmethyl)mercury compounds and benzoylgermanes

ConclusionsA new method has been developed for the synthesis of substituted bis(silylmethyl)mercury compounds and benzoylgermanes based on the reaction of bis(triethylgermyl)mercury with the corresponding chloromethylsilanes and benzoyl chloride in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.

Mechanism for the reaction of triethylgermane with dialkylmercury compounds

ConclusionsA radical chain mechanism was proposed for the reaction of triethylgermane with dialkylmercury compounds.

Study of some bis(silylmethyl)mercury compounds by the1H29Si, and199Hg NMR method

ConclusionsOn the basis of the NMR spectral data on1H,29Si, and199Hg nuclei, it was shown that Hg-X coordination interaction is possible for the compounds (Me3−nXnSiCH2)2Hg, which is manifested to a greater degree for the chloro derivatives.
