Mechanism of a novel transformation of the alkyl phenyltellurides to alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution of the phenyltelluro group in organotelluriums is studied on the basis of kinetics and stereochemistry using the titled chiral substrate. The results obtained strongly suggest that the substitutions proceed via SN2 mechanism with Walden inversion and very low Arrhenius' energies of activation.
