A. Ogawa et al., HIGHLY REGIOSELECTIVE AND STEREOSELECTIVE ALKYLATION OF VIC-BIS(PHENYLTELLURO)ALKENES WITH ORGANOCUPRATES, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(7), 1994, pp. 1600-1601
Alkylation of vic-bis(phenyltelluro)alkenes 1 with lithium dialkylcupr
ates takes place regioselectively at the terminal carbon of 1 to provi
de the corresponding 1-alkyl-2-phenyltelluroalkenes (2) stereoselectiv
ely in good yields.
