Tellurium in Organic Synthesis

The growing behavior of the selective chemical.
Tellurium in Organic Synthesis provides an overview of the tellurium chemistry. Many chapters have been enriched and updated in this second edition. New chapters include overviews of toxicology and pharmacology and a number of tellurium heterocycles.

The first part of the book focuses on the preparation of the organics of organic compounds. The second part, and the most important elements of the book, details of the organism. Reactions covered include reduction, formation and reaction of anionic species, deprotection, tellurium cyclizations, formation of alkenes, use of vinyllic tellurides, free radical chemistry, transmetallations, and removal of tellurium.
