Abstract

Tellurocarboxylic acids and their derivatives are tellurium isologues of carboxylic acids, esters, amides, carbonates, and carbamates wherein an oxygen atom of the C=O group in the original compounds is replaced with a tellurium atom. Their stabilities are generally low, and almost no new synthetic methods for them have been reported recently, although some theoretical studies have been published. Nevertheless, iminium salts generated from amides and selenoiminium salts are converted into telluroamides with a tellurating agent prepared from elemental tellurium and lithium aluminum hydride.
