반응 단계

The synthesis of organotelluride catalysts based on 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol (1) is shown in FIG. 11. 3,5-Bis[3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propyl-1-oxy]benzyl alcohol (5) (Francavilla et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 123:57 et al. (2001), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety) was converted to the corresponding benzoate 6 in 99% isolated yield with benzoic anhydride and pyridine in the presence of catalytic DMAP. The silyl protecting groups were removed with HF-pyridine to give diol 7 in 89% isolated yield. Diol 7 was converted to the corresponding dibromide 8 in two steps (Wendler et al., Tetrahedron, 3:144 et al. (1958), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). The mesylate was first prepared, but not isolated, and was then treated in situ with lithium bromide to give dibromide 8 in 87% isolated yield. The addition of PhTeNa to 8 gave 9a with two phenyltelluro groups in 65% isolated yield; 4-Me2NC6H4TeNa, 9b with two dimethylaminophenyltelluro groups in 92% isolated yield; and n-C6H13TeNa, 9c with two hexyltelluro groups in 62% isolated yield.
