摘要
Reaction of 1-methyl-1-(2-iodophenyl)oxirane (4) with two equivalents of sodium butyltelluroate (NaTeBu), generated throught the sodium borohydride reduction of dibutylditelluride, in THF, affords 2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-3-methylbenzo[b]tellurophene (6) in 57% yield, together with 1-(butyltelluro)-2-phenyl-2-propanol (7, 7%). This transformation presumably involves a tandem S(RN)1/S(H)i sequence which was investigated further through the reactions of 1-(benzylseleno)-2-phenyl-2-propanol (2, R-1 = Me; R-2 = H) and 1-allyloxy-2-iodobenzene (9) with sodium butyltelluroate under similar conditions. Mechanistic and kinetic implications are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
