The reaction of bisgermavinylidene [(Me 3 SiNPPh 2 ) 2 CGe→GeC(PPh 2 NSiMe 3 ) 2 ] ( 1 ) with AdNCO (Ad = Adamantyl) afforded the [2 + 2] cycloadditon product [(Me 3 SiNPPh 2 ) 2 CGeC(O) NAd] ( 2 ). Similar reaction of 1 with Ph 3 SiOH in tetrahydrofuran (THF) yielded the base‐stabilized germanium(II) triphenylsiloxide [H 2 C(PPh 2 NSiMe 3 ) 2 Ge(OSiPh 3 ) 2 ] ( 3 ). The results suggested that reactive germavinylidene may exist in solution and is capable of forming addition reaction products. The X‐ray structures of 2 and 3 were determined.
