X. Huang et Wx. Zheng, A new path for the reductive cleavage of Te-Te bond by the system of Cp2TiCl2/i-BuMgBr and its utility in synthesis of unsymmetrical tellurides, SYN COMMUN, 30(8), 2000, pp. 1365-1369
The cleavage reduction of ditellurides by Cp2TiCl2/i-BuMgBr lead to nucleop
hilic tellurides [Cp2TiTeAr]. This species reacts with aliphatic bromides t
o give unsymmetrical tellurides in good yield.
