Abstract

Tellurium tetraethoxide reacts with primary thioamides at room temperature, forming nitriles in high yields. On the other hand, the reactions with amides are largely temperature- dependent, giving predominantly esters at 80° C and nitriles at a higher temperature. Similarly, tellurium tetraethoxide readily induces the C–N bond cleavage of ureas to give carbamates and amines.
