The acid-catalysed hydrolysis of phenoxygermanes in aqueous dioxan proceeds to a position of equilibrium, and kinetic data show that the reaction is at least second-order with respect to water. Tributylphenoxygermanè reacts 5 × 105 faster than the analogous phenoxysilane. This result is compared with the relative reactivities of other organosilicon and organogermanium compounds.
