Photostimulated telluromethylation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)00866-0

Photostimulated reaction of bromo- and iodoarenes with potassium tellurocyanate in dimethylsulfoxide produces aryl methyl tellurides in moderate yields. This method offers facile access to aryltellurium compounds which are difficult to prepare by other methods.
