Abstract

Abstract The reactions of several organosilicon hydrides Ph n SiH 4-n, n= 1, 2; R 3 SiH, R 3= Ph 3, Ph 2 Me, PhMe 2 (nC 6 H 13) 3;(p-Me 2 HSi) 2 C 6 H 4, with TeCl 4 in benzene resulted in the formation of tellurium metal and chlorosilanes in 75–90% yields. Similar reactions with aryltellurium trichlorides (RTeCl 3, R= Ph, p-MeOC 6 H 4, p-EtOC 6 H 4) proceeded in two different ways. On stirring at room temperature for 6–8 h, diaryl ...
