Carbon–carbon bond formation at the γ-position of dienolates via the germanium masked dienolates

Abstract
Trapping of the lithium dienolate (1), derived from 3-methyl-2-butenoate, with Me3GeX (X = Br or Cl) gives the α-germylated derivative (2), which reacts with various electrophiles at the γ-position.
