Table 2. (A–F) Substrate Scope for the Hydrogenation of Aryl Germane Derivatives Using Nishimura’s Catalyst (4) under Optimized Reaction Conditions and Reaction Condition-Based Sensitivity Assessment^a.

^aReaction conditions: 5 (0.2 mmol), H₂ (80 bar), 4 (5 mol %, based on total metal loading), T = 50 °C, TFE (1.5 mL), and reaction time (t) = 40 h; the diastereomeric ratio was determined by GC analysis.

^bGC yield was reported because of the low boiling point of the products.

^ct = 60 h.

^dt = 32 h.

^et = 24 h.

^fNMR yield was reported because of difficult isolation.

^gYb(OAc)₃·4H₂O (10 mol %) was used.
