Abstract

Abstract The products of the reaction of Me 3 SiCl with PhTeMgBr in THF have been identified with the aid of high resolution 29 Si and 129 Te NMR spectroscopy. In addition to the expected product Me 2 SiTePh (40%), the symmetrical telluride (Me 3 Si) 2 Te (10%) and the ether Me 3 SiO (CH 2) 4 TePh (45%) are also formed. The latter results from ring- opening of the solvent THF by Me 3 SiCl followed by reaction of the product with ...
