SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF TELLURIUM(II) COMPOUNDS: DIARYLTELLUROESTERS, ArCOTeEAr'

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)84462-9

A series of organotellurium(II) derivatives of the general formula ArCOTeAr' (Ar,Ar'=phenyl, p-tolyl, p-anisyl, p-bromophenyl, p-trifluoromethylphenyl, 1-naphthyl) have been prepared and characterized chemically and spectroscopically.Various chemical reactions of this class of compounds have been investigated, and the reaction of these compounds with (PhCN)2PdCl2 to give the polymeric (Pd(TeAr')2)n derivatives suggests that these organotellurium reagents may be useful precursors of TeAr'^- ligands in reactions with transition-metal substrates.
