Room-temperature Activation of Aliphatic C-H Bonds in Cyclohexane and Pentane by the System -Te(CF3)2: X-Ray Crystal Structure of >

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/C39910000447

The reaction of with bis(trifluoromethyl)telluride, Te(CF3)2, in cyclohexane yields the cluster > 2 in which the CF3 substituents at the tellurium are replaced by two cyclohexyl substituents; the isolation of the intermediate > 1 in the dark reveals that the first C-H activation of the cyclohexane is a thermal process, whereas the second C-H activation requires sunlight.
