Synthesis of unsymmetric allyl-(alkyl) tellurides

摘要

The new unsymmetric allyl-(alkyl) telluride compound methyl allyl telluride and other unsymmetric allyl-(alkyl) telluride compounds are prepared by adding an alkyl Grignard to a tellurium/tetrahydrofuran slurry, then subsequent reaction with an alkyl halide. The unsymmetric allyl-(alkyl) telluride product is isolated by filtration followed by vacuum distillation.
