(Z)-Alpha-bromo-1-alkenylboronate esters readily react with trimethylgermyllithium in ether at low temperature. After stirring at room temperature, the reaction provides (E)-1-trimethylgermyll-1 alkenyl boronate esters. It is then reacted with 91,3-dioxan-2ylethyl) magnesium bromide followed by treatment with iodine in tetrahydrofuran at low temperature. After workup, the corresponding (Z)-trisubstituted alkenes containing trimethylgermyll and (1,3-dioxan-2ylethyl) moieties. The products s are obtained in 72%-80% yields. They are purified by column chromatography over alumina and the structures are confirmed by NMR spectral data.
