SnCl4-induced unsymmetrical cleavage of Bis(N,N- diethylcarbamoyltelluro)-arylmethanes: Generation of tellurobenzaldehydes
Tellurobenzaldehydes bearing an electron-withdrawing substituent were generated by way of SnCl4-induced unsymmetrical cleavage of bis(N,N-dialkylcarbamoyltelluro)arylmethanes, and were trapped using 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene.
