Acyl tellurides are prepared in good to excellent yield by the reaction of sodium aryl tellurides with acyl chlorides, or mixed anhydrides, and are found to be moderately air-stable substances. In contrast to previous literature reports, acyl tellurides of aryl and vinyl carboxylic acids are found to be excellent sources of acyl radicals on photolysis with a simple white light source. The acyl radicals so generated may be trapped intermolecularly by dichalcogenides, or by TEMPO in excellent yield. Trapping by N-tert-butyl-α-phenyl nitrone produces a stable nitroxide radical which has been characterized by ESR spectroscopy. The very efficient trapping of acyl radicals by acyl tellurides themselves is demonstrated by a crossover experiment. Acyl tellurides are shown to participate in very efficient radical cyclization reactions onto alkenes with the formation of five-, six-, and eight-membered rings. The immediate products of the cyclizations onto alkenes are α-[(aryltelluro)methyl] ketones and the chemistry of these relatively unstable species is briefly described. Treatment with hydrogen peroxide affords α-methylene ketones in high yield. When elimination of the aryl telluro group is not possible the α-[(aryltelluro)methyl] ketones are stable species that may subsequently be employed in further radical chain reactions, for example with tributyltin hydride and methyl acrylate. Cyclization onto alkynes yields α-[(aryltelluro)methylene] ketones which are stable species and which take part in substitution reactions with higher order cuprates or with diphenyl diselenide.

Photolysis of acyl aryl tellurides in the presence of thiophenol results in the clean formation of aldehydes indicating homolytic cleavage of the acyl-Te bond and the involvement of acyl radicals. Further cyclization reactions of unsaturated acyltellurides are reported together with some chemistry of the cyclization products.
