Synthesis and reactions of t-butyltellurocarbonyloxyalkanes

Abstract
Reaction of t-butylchloromethylenedimethylammonium chloride with alcohols and sodium hydrogen telluride gave t-butyltellurocarbonyloxyalkanes. 3β-t-Butyltellurocarbonyloxy-5α-cholestane [ButC(Te)OR] gave the ester (ButCO2R) with diphenylseleninic anhydride, and ethers (ButCH2OR) and [(ButCHOR)2] with sodium hydrogen telluride. The ethers were formed via the oligotelluride [(ButCHOR)2Ten; n= 1–4] which with N-bromosuccinimide gave the imide [(ButCHOR)-N(COCH2CH2CO)].
