Tris(trimethylsilyl)methantellurenylhalogenide (Me3Si)3CTeX (X = Cl, Br, I): Synthese stabiler Alkantellurenylhalogenide

Abstract
Tris (trimethylsilyl)methanetellurenyl Halides (Me3Si)3 CTex (X = Cl, Br, I): Synthesis of Stable Alkanetellurenyl HalidesThe first stable and isolable alkanetellurenyl halides, tris(trimethylsilyl)methanetellurenyl chloride, bromide, and iodide (1a–c) are obtained quantitatively by halogenolysis of bis[tris‐(trimethylsilyl)methyl] ditelluride with SO2Cl2, Br2, and I2, respectively. Their synthetic potential is examplified by transformation to methyl tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl telluride (2) and phenyl tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl telluride (3).
