Elimination of Me(3)SiCH(2)Br from (Me(3)SiCH(2))(3)SbBr2 leads to (Me
(3)SiCH(2))(2)SbBr (1). Reaction of 1 with Mg in tetrahydrofuran gives
[(Me(3)SiCH(2))(2)Sb](2) (2). Complete exchange reactions of 2 with R
TeTeR afford (Me(3)SiCH(2))(2) SbTeR (3: R = Ph, 4: R = p-Tol). [(Me(3
)SiCH(2))(2)Sb]Te-2 (5) is formed by insertion of Te into 2 or better
by the reaction of 1 with Na2Te.
