Reaction of β-Ethoxyvinyl Lithiums Generated from Phenyltellanyl- and Ethyltellanylacetaldehyde Diethyl Acetals with Aldehydes and Ketones and Successive Hydrations

Abstract

Reactions of α-tellanyl-β-ethoxyvinyl lithiums of aldehydes and ketones proceeded in good to high yields and the successive treatment with acids gave the α-tellanyl α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. α-Tellanyl α,β-unsaturated aldehydes easily transformed to more useful compounds.
