Mechanism of Thermal Decomposition of Tetra-aryltellurium Species
Glover, Stephen A.

Tetra-aryltellurium species decompose upon heating giving good yields of diaryl tellurides and biphenyls.Radical-scavenging experiments show that phenyl radicals are not intermediates in the formation of biphenyls.In contrast, cross-over experiments give mixed biphenyls as well as mixed diaryl tellurides, but these are formed by a statistical redistribution of organic groups giving mixed tetra-aryltellurium species which decompose thermally in an indiscrimate fashion.
