RESUMO

The first experimental evidence for the formation of an organic tellurium-centered radical (RTe center dot, R = Ph or nBu groups) during the hydrotelluration of alkenes and alkynes is provided. The radicals were detected by electronic paramagnetic ressonance (EPR), using DBNBS (3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzene-sulfonate) as the spin trap. The radical adducts (DBNBS/TeBu and DBNBS/TePh) presented an EPR spectrum characterized by a triplet of triplets due to one nitrogen and two equivalent hydrogen atoms (aN = 21.6 G and aH = 0.7 G) and a g value of 2.0060. The presence of tellurium radical adducts was confirmed by isotopic substitution (125Te) and by electrospray and chemical ionization mass spectrometry and MS/MS analysis. The products showed isotopic patterns expected for compounds containing Br and Te. These results provide evidence for organic tellurium-centered radical formation and suggest that the hydrotelluration reactions occur by a free radical mechanism. The mechanism of the addition reaction of TeCl4 to alkynes was indirectly established by the detection of TeCl3 using EPR spin trapping, ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS characterization. Carbon centered radicals were detected during the lithium butylchalcogenolate induced Michael-aldol tandem sequence. Reaction of the lithium alkylchalcogenolates with activated alkenes and aldehydes gives the corresponding aldol adducts. The selenium-containing products give MoritaBaylisHillman adducts after the oxidation/elimination of the selenoxide. The whole sequence can be performed in a one-pot procedure.
