MILD TRANSFORMATION OF TELLURO AND SELENO ESTERS INTO CARBOXYLIC-ACID AND ESTERS

Te-Butyl Telluroesters and Se-Butyl Selenoesters are hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids under very mild conditions by reaction with copper(II) chloride dihydrate. When the reaction is performed in ethanol or methanol, using anhydrous copper(II) chloride a transesterification occurred leading to the oxyg...

Summary:Te-Butyl Telluroesters and Se-Butyl Selenoesters are hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids under very mild conditions by reaction with copper(II) chloride dihydrate. When the reaction is performed in ethanol or methanol, using anhydrous copper(II) chloride a transesterification occurred leading to the oxygenated esters in good yield.
