Abstract

Abstract Treatment of olefins with phenyltellurium (I) or (IV) species [(PhTe) 2, PhTeCN, PhTeBr 3] in alcohol at room to reflux temperature for 1–24 h produces the corresponding (2- alkoxyalkyl) phenyltellurium dihalides in good yields, the reaction being trans- stereoselective and highly regioselective.
