The reactions of diarylgermanes with alkali metals in HMPA/THF or THF were found to give the corresponding diarylgermylenedialkali metals in high yields. Diphenylgermylenedipotassium reacted with aryl halides or carbonyl compounds to give reduction products predominantly. With alkyl halides, diphenylgermylenedipotassium gave mainly substitution products.
