Abstract
Elemental tellurium can be reduced by rongalite (HOCH2SO2Na . 2H(2)O)- KOH in the solid phase by application of ultrasound or by microwave ir radiation. Without solvent, the organic substrate (eg sulfonate ester of an oxiranemethanol) is added with further sonication or irradiation to yield the desired organic product (eg allylic alcohols) and elemen tal Te which may be recycled. Phase-transfer conditions (water-toluene ) also ate satisfactory. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
