Summary
1-Germa-1,1-dimethyl[3,4,c]thienocyclopentane (I) has been prepared from 3-germa-3,3-dimethyl-7-thiabicyclo[3,3,0]oct-1-ene (II)1 by oxidation with dichorodicyanoquinone (DDQ). Treatment of I with a catalytic amount ofn-butyllithium and HMPA in THF yields poly(1-germa-1,1-dimethyl[3,4,c]thienopentane) (III).
