in the presence of Pd(Ph3 P)4 affords the corresponding
allylic germanes in good yields at room temperature.
Key words

substitution - allylpalladium

Experimental Procedure :
Allyl acetate (60 mg, 0.6 mmol) and tri(2-furyl)germane (137 mg,
0.5 mmol) were added to a mixture of Pd(PPh3 )4 (29
mg, 0.025 mol) in DMF (1.5 mL). The mixture was stirred for 4.5
h at room temperature. The mixture was diluted with ether and filtered
through a short pad of silica gel. Concentration of the filtrate
and purification of the residue provided allyltri(2-furyl)germane (1 , 151 mg, 0.48 mol) in 96% yield:

NMR (CDCl3 ): δ: 2.45 (dd, J = 8.0
Hz, 0.5 Hz, 2 H), 4.93 (dd, J = 9.6
Hz, 1.2 Hz, 1 H), 5.01 (dd, J = 17.0 Hz,
1.2 Hz, 1 H), 5.93 (m, 1 H), 6.46 (m, 3 H), 6.78 (d, J = 3.3 Hz, 3 H), 7.73 (m, 3
H); 13 C NMR (CDCl3 ): δ = 20.94, 109.79,
115.53, 121.36, 132.82, 147.47, 152.68. Found: C, 57.48; H, 4.59%.
