1,1,2,3,4,5 - Hexahydro Tellurophene [C4H8Te(II)] and 1,3-Dihydro-2λ4-Benzotellurole [C8H8Te(II)] Derivatives
Convenient route of synthesis of the type R<sub>2</sub>TeX′SY and R<sub>2</sub>Te(CH<sub>3</sub>)X′c were dove loved by the reactions of R<sub>2</sub>Te(II) [R<sub>2</sub> = C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>, C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>8</sub>] with IX′S (X′S= Cl, Br), RI (R = CH<sub>3</sub>, C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>) and CH<sub>3</sub>X″c (X″c = Cl, Br, NO<sub>3</sub>, C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>OCO).These complexes have been characterised through elemental analysis (Table 1) and <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectral data (Table 2). The <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectra of C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>TeICl, C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>TeIBr, C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>TeCH<sub>3</sub>I, C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>TeCH<sub>3</sub>Cl, C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>TeCH<sub>3</sub>Br, C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>TeCH<sub>3</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>, C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>TeCH<sub>3</sub>OCOC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>, C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>8</sub>TeCH<sub>3</sub>I, and C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>8</sub>Te -C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>I have been recorded in CDCl<sub>3</sub> at 300 MHz. The study indicates that the heterocycles of C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>8</sub>Te(II) and C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>8</sub>Te(II) undergo oxidative addition reactions readily resulting in the increase in the oxidation number of central tellurium atom.
