We report a site-selective -nitration of aryl germanes in the presence of boronic esters, silanes, halogens, and additional functionalities. The protocol is characterized by operational simplicity, proceeds at room temperature, and is enabled by [Ru(bpy)](PF)/blue light photocatalysis. Owing to the exquisite robustness of the [Ge] functionality, nitrations of alternative functional handles in the presence of the germane are also feasible, as showcased herein.

Comparison of Different Organometallics Towards Electrophilic Aromatic At-Astatinations of Highly Reactive Tetrazines.

Organometallics can be used as precursors for electrophilic At-statinations. In this report, we compared the potential of aryl trimethylsilanes, -germanes, or -stannanes to be used as precursors to At-label highly reactive tetrazines. Tetrazines can be used for pretargeted radioligand therapies or be applied as synthons to radiolabel rapidly and orthogonally a broad set of precursors such as peptides, mAbs or nanomedicines.

Article Synopsis
- The regioselectivity of C-H functionalization typically relies on directing groups, electronic effects, or steric hindrance, but these methods are less effective with simple monofluoroarenes due to their low reactivity.
- This study introduces a gold-catalyzed method for para-C-H arylation of monofluoroarenes at room temperature, achieving high para-regioselectivity (up to 98:2) using a specific catalyst and hexafluorobenzene as a solvent.
- The protocol is versatile and effective for over 80 different substrates, showing excellent tolerance for various functional groups, and its selectivity is attributed to unique dinuclear gold species and interactions with the solvent
Orthogonal Olefination with Organogermanes.

Institute of Organic Chemistry, RWTH Aachen University, Landoltweg 1, 52074, Aachen, Germany.
Reported herein is a fully orthogonal olefination, which involves the site- and E-selective coupling of aryl germanes with alkenes, tolerating otherwise widely employed coupling handles such as aromatic (pseudo)halogens (C-I, C-Br, C-Cl, C-F, C-OTf, C-OSO F), silanes and boronic acid derivatives as well as alternative functionalities. This unprecedented [Ge]-based oxidative Heck coupling proceeds at room temperature with high speed (10 min to 2 hours) and operational simplicity owing to its base-free and air-tolerant features.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for creating selectively saturated germanium compounds is introduced, focusing on hydrogenating aromatic germanes.
- Nishimura's catalyst (RhO/PtO·HO) outperformed others, achieving up to 96% yield, and various substrates, including unique saturated heterocyclic germanes, were synthesized.
- The products are valuable in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, demonstrating diverse reactivity in coupling reactions, particularly in forming C-N bonds while remaining stable and robust.
