Ch. Schiesser et Ma. Skidmore, REVERSIBILITY IN FREE-RADICAL REACTIONS OF ARYLTELLURIDES WITH TRIBUTYLSTANNYL RADICAL, Chemical communications, (12), 1996, pp. 1419-1420
Sn-119 and Te-125 NMR spectroscopies reveal that methyl, primary and s
econdary alkyl radicals, generated by reaction of phenyltelluroalkanes
4, 6, 7 with tributyltin hydride (benzene, AIBN initiator), are capab
le of displacing tributylstannyl radicals from (4-fluorophenyltelluro)
tributylstannane to afford the 4-fluorophenyltelluroalkanes 3, 8, 9.
