Abstract:

[reaction: see text] Aromatic azides are inert toward tributylgermanium hydride under thermal conditions in the absence and in the presence of a radical initiator but in the presence of catalytic amounts of benzenethiol undergo fast reaction, yielding reduced anilines and 2-germylated derivatives in high overall yields.
