摘要:
An organic compound (i) containing an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal is reacted with a compound (ii) containing a leaving group and either silicon or germanium in the presence of a nitrogenous heterocyclic aromatic compound (iii), thus enabling organic compounds containing silicon or germanium, e.g., cyclopentadienyl compounds crosslinked with a silicon or germanium atom, typically cyclopentadienyl compounds substituted by an optionally substituted silyl or germyl group, to be produced in a short time in high yields without using a compound which may be toxic to the human body, etc.
