The π-(Hydroxyalkenyl)germane complexes Rh(acac){η2-(E)-Et3GeCH=CHC(OH)R2}(PCy 3) (R = Me, Ph) as intermediates in the hydrogermylation of alkynols catalyzed by Rh(acac)(cyclooctene)(PCy3)

The (hydroxyalkenyl)germanes (E)-R3Ge-CH=CHC(OH)R′2 (R = Et, Ph; R′ = Me, Ph) are prepared in quantitative yield, and in a catalytic manner, by addition of germanes to the alkynols HC≡CC-(OH)R′2 (R′ = Me, Ph) in the presence of the complex Rh(acac)(cyclooctene)(PCy3). During the reactions four cycles are evident. They have as a common point the intermediates Rh(acac){η2-(E)-CH(GeR3)=~CHC(OH)-R′ 2}(PCy3), which have been isolated for R=Et and R′ = Me, Ph.
