Selectivity between deprotonation and attack on tellurium in the reaction of 1,4-thiatellurins with strongly basic reagents

Reaction of 1,4-thiatellurin and some of its alkyl derivatives with n-butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran gives Z,Z-2,2'-dilithiodivinyl sulfide or alkyl derivatives and dibutyl telluride.With lithium diisopropylamide in tetrahydrofuran, in the case of 3,5'-dialkyl-1,4-thiatellurins, deprotonation with concomitant ring opening is the main reaction.

α,α'-DIIDOSULFIDES A USEFUL PREPARATION OF DIVINYLIC SULFIDES

Symmetric and unsymmetric divinylic sulfides can be prepared almost quantitatively by the elimination of HI by base from the corresponding α,α'-diidosulfide.These molecules are quantitatively formed in situ from α,α'-bistrimethylsiloxysulfides and iodotri
