The zwitterionic spirocyclic \(\lambda_5\)-germanate bis(2,3-naphthalenediolato( 2-)](pyrrolidiniomethyl)germanate (8) was synthesized and the crystal structure of its tetartoacetonitrile solvate 8 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 8 was prepared by reaction of (MeO)\(_3\)GeCH\(_2\)NC\(_4\)H\(_8\) (11; NC\(_4\)H\(_8\) = pyrrolidino) with two equivalents of 2,3-naphthalenediol (isolated as 8 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN; yield 92%). The coordination polyhedron around the pentacoordi- naphthalenediolatonate germanium atom of 8 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN can be described as a strongly distorted trigonal bipyramid (the structure is displaced by 38.9% from the ideal trigonal bipyrarnid towards the ideal square pyramid), the carbon atom occupying an equatorial position. In the crystal lattice of 8 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN, the zwitterions form intermolecular N-H ... o hydrogen bonds leading to the formation of dimers. 1H- and \(^{13}\C-NMR studies revealed that 8 also exists in solution ([D\(_6\)]DMSO).
Starting from chlorodimethyl(phenyl)silane (3), acetyldimethyl(phenyl)silane (l) was prepared by a two-step synthesis in a total yield of 90% [PhMe\(_2\)SiCl (3)-> PhMe\(_2\)SiCCOMe)=CH\(_2\) (4)-> PhMe\(_2\)SiC(O)Me (1)]. The prochiral acetylsilane 1 was transfonned enantioselectively into (R)-(1-hydroxyethyl)dimethyl(phenyl)silane [(R)-2] using plant cell Suspension cultures of Symphytum officinale L. or Ruta graveolens L. Under preparative conditions (300-mg scale, not optimized), (R)-2 was isolated in 15% (Symphytum) and 9% yield (Ruta), respectively. The enantiomeric purities of the products were 81% ee (Syrnphytum) and 60% ee (Ruta), respectively.
