A series of substituted vinylgermanes and divinylgermanes have been synthesized in moderate or high yield via two reactions of olefins and dienes catalyzed by [RuHCl(CO) (PCy 3 ) 2 ], i.e. germylative coupling with vinylgermanes and dehydrogenative germylation with hydrogermanes. While the former reaction can be a versatile way of regioselective synthesis of products (particularly useful for the stereoselective synthesis of germylsilylethenes), the latter could be used as a complement, especially in synthesis of germylate dioxol ethene and vinyl ethers.
