Abstract

Abstract Efficient access to bis (nitrophenyl) ditellurides was developed and their utility for the preparation of novel nitrogen-containing organotellurium heterocycles demonstrated. The nitration of diphenyl ditellurides resulted in their oxidation to benzenetellurinic acids, followed by nitration in ortho or meta positions relative to tellurium. Nitration of bis (3, 5- dimethylphenyl) ditelluride furnished bis (3, 5-dimethyl-2-nitrophenyl) ditelluride, which ...
