Desulfurization of isothiocyanates by a divalent germanium amide
Ge[N(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub> reacts with isocyanates but its reactivity with the related heavier congeners has not been explored. Its reaction with tertiary isothiocyanates results in the abstraction of the sulfur atom to yield a germanium(IV) dimer [((SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>N)<sub>2</sub>GeS]<sub>2</sub> in high yield. The reaction with <i>tert</i>-butylisoselenocyanate produced the related dimer [((SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>N)<sub>2</sub>GeSe]<sub>2</sub> within 5 minutes as shown using <sup>77</sup>Se NMR spectroscopy.
