Chemical reactions of I-vi nylsil atranes such as cycloaddition, oxidation, hydrosi lylati on and derivatisation have been discussed in detail. Literature available/publi shed till the end of 1998 have been covered. 1 Introduction itself, the simplest compound of thi s class has structure II, where R= H, M =Si. The chemistry of organo compounds of IYB group elements (Si, Ge, and Sn) is one of the fascinating areas having practical utility l-4. Compared to th e organocompounds of silicon and tin , the l)2 ~~__ C!h organogermanium compounds are comparatively less H/Hi 1 H, studied and are not widely used in practice. This is be \4-A1- o I cause of relatively hi gh cost of the starting germanium R source such as germanium metal and its oxide.
