Abstract
AbstractA new series of organotellurium(IV) compounds based on di(cyclohexylmethyl)telluride (1) (i.e., (C6H11CH2)2TeX2 and (C6H11CH2)2Te(R)X) was prepared by the reaction of compound 1 with halogens, N‐bromosuccinimide, and alkyl halides. Phenylation of (C6H11CH2)2TeX2 with sodium tetraphenylborate gave di(cyclohexylmethyl)phenyltelluronium tetraphenylborate in good yield. Conductivity measurements in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) showed a considerable ionic character of these compounds and they behave as 1:1 electrolytes. 1H NMR studies in CDCl3 solution indicated that telluronium salts employed in this study are unstable toward reductive elimination. Reaction of di(cyclohexylmethyl)telluride, (C6H11CH2)2Te(CH3)I, and (C6H11CH2)2Te(PhCH2)Br with HgX2 (X = Cl or Br) afforded 1:1 complexes. All compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic data. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
