A method for the synthesis of 2-phenylbenzo-1,3-ditellurole by the reaction
of disodium o-benzeneditellurolate with benzylidene chloride was proposed.
2-Methylbenzo-1,3-ditellurole and benzo-1,3-direllurole-2-carboxylic acid
were prepared by the reaction of 2-lithiobenzo-1,3-ditellurole with Mel and
CO2, respectively.
