Abstract
The reaction of 1,8-bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene with tellurium powder and sodium iodide gives the orange 3,5-naphtho-1-telluracyclohexane-1,1-diiodide which on reduction gives 3,5-naphtho-1-telluracyclohexane. Reaction of 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(bromomethyl)benzene with elemental tellurium and sodium iodide gives the yellow 1,2,4,5-bis(diiodotelluracyclopentano)bezene, which upon reduction affords a highly insoluble material. 3,5-Naphtho-1-selenahexane has been prepared in excellent yield by treating sodium selenide with 1,8-bis(bromomethyl)napthalene. Charge-transfer complexes of the telluride and of telluracyclohexane and tellura-cyclopentane are reported.
