Abstract

Diaryl tellurides, alkenyl aryl tellurides and dialkenyl tellurides react efficiently with various alkenes in methanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl2 together with AgOAc and Et3 N to give the corresponding aryl- and alkenyl-substituted alkenes with moderate to quantitative yields. Both monomeric and dimeric palladium complexes, (Ph2Te)2PdCl2 and [(Ph2Te)PdCl2]2 respectively, react readily with alkenes to give a high yield of phenyl-substituted alkenes. The key step of this coupling reaction is proposed to be the migration of an organic moiety from Te to Pd (transmetallation) in organic telluride-PdCl2 complexes to afford organopalladium species.
