5,6-Dimethoxy-2-methylbenzotellurazole → 3-Benzyl-5,6-dimethoxy-2-methylbenzotellurazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared in the same way and on the same scale as the compound of Example 53, except that 5,6-dimethoxy-2-methylbenzotellurazole (Example 19) was used in place of 2-methylbenzotellurazole. Yield 0.50 g of a pale gray powder, m.p. 179°-182° C. (dec). The infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra were in agreement with that expected for a mixture of desired compound and the hydro salt 5,6-dimethoxy-2-methylbenzotellurazole.
