Abstract

Among the most promising synthetic applications of organic tellurium compounds are their transmetalation reactions with n-butyllithium'. Recently we reported our results on the transmetalation reaction of vinylic tellurides with n-butyllithium leading to vinyllithium reagents2; 3. As an extension of this reaction we investigated a novel route to higher order mixed vinyl cyanocuprates by direct reaction between vinylic tellurides and dialkyl ...
