Synthesis and structural determination of 1,1′-spirobi(3H-2,1-benzoxatellurole)-3-one ([10-Te-4(C2O2)]): Conversion of diacyloxyspirotellurane to alkoxyspirotellurane by reduction with lithium aluminium hydride

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1996.365

Selective reduction of the diacyloxyspirotellurane 1 with lithium aluminium hydride gave the acyloxyalkoxyspirotellurane 2 and dialkoxyspirotellurane 3, respectively. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of 2 (R = 0.020) reveals distorted trigonal-bipyram
