Abstract

Summary Treatment of organotellurium(1v) halides with t-butyl hydroperoxide in 1,4-dioxan, acetic acid, or acetonitrile affords the corresponding organic halides in good to moderate yields presumably as the result of a 1,2-halogen shift. ... THE well established p-elimination giving olefins from organoseleniuni(I1) compounds by oxidationf does not pro- ceed well with organotellurium(I1) compounds.2 In the latter case some alcohols are formed, ...
