Synthesis, Spectral Characterization of Four Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Organotellurium(II) Compounds: O−H…N, CH…π, and CH…O Secondary Interactions in X-Ray Crystal Structures of 4-MeOC6H4TeCH2CH2CH2N═C(CH3)C6H4-2-OH (1) and Te[CH2CH2CH2N═C(CH3)C6H4-2-

Organotellurium compounds: an overview of synthetic methodologies

In wake of emerging applications of organotellurium compounds in biological and material science avenues, the current review describes their key synthetic methodologies while focusing the synthesis of organotellurium compounds through five ligand-to-metal linkages including carbon; carbon-oxygen; carbon-nitrogen; carbon-metal; carbon-sulfur to tellurium. In all of these linkages whether tellurium links with ligands through a complicated or simple pathways, it is often governed through electrophilic substitution reactions. The present study encompasses these major synthetic routes so as to acquire comprehensive understanding of synthetic organotellurium compounds.
