SODIUM HYDROGEN TELLURIDE AS A USEFUL NUCLEOPHILIC REAGENT FOR THE CLEAVAGE OF EPOXIDES AND OF QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALTS

Sodium hydrogen telluride opens many epoxides cleanly by an SN2 process to give telluro-alcohols, which by reduction with nickel boride afford alcohols.An intermediate telluro-alcohol was converted to olefin in high yield by treatment with p-toluene-sulphonyl chloride in pyridine.Quaternary ammonium salts are also cleaved efficiently by sodium hydrogen telluride.
