Abstract

Abstract: The utility of the telluroxide for olefin synthesis, a reaction which previously appeared to be of little value, is described. Treatment of sec-alkylphenyltellurium dibromides, except for the cyclohexyl system, with aqueous NaOH at room temperature affords olefins, allylic alcohols, and/or allylic ethers in high yields presumably via the formation of sec-alkyl phenyl telluroxides and their facile telluroxide elimination. As to the ...
