Phenyltellurotris(trimethylsilyl)silane 4 and (4-fluorophenyltelluro)t
ris(trimethylsilyl)silane 5 react with methyl, 2-methylpropyl, cyclohe
xyl and phenyl substituted chloroformates (7, 11, 15, 19) in benzene a
nd in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (4 mol%
) to afford the corresponding aryltelluroformate (8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17
, 20, 21) in 50-79% yield; this procedure is also applicable to the pr
eparation of (phenylseleno)formates and seleno- and telluro-esters.
