 Abstract the reactions between silenols or terminal acetylenes with alkenyl germains have been accomplished using potassium BIS, trimethylsilol, amide as the catalyst. This strategy has provided an entry point into various organic germains including germacyloxanes and alkenyl germains. Remarkably, not only KHMDS but also simple basists such as KOH can serve as efficient catalysts in this process.
