Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of diphenyl ditelluride, bis(2-amino-5-methyl phenyl)ditelluride and bis(2-amino-5-bromo phenyl)ditellurid have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV) in methanol or THF at room temperature. The results showed two single successive electron transfer through the reduction process. This technique was used to determine the best voltage regions in order to carry out the electrochemical synthesis of unsymmetrical organic telluride, i.e : ethyl phenyl telluride (1), propyl phenyl telluride(2), butyl phenyl telluride(3), ethyl (2-amino-5-methyl phenyl)telluride(4), propyl(2-

amino-5-methylphenyl) -telluride(5), butyl (2-amino-5-methylphenyl)(6), ethyl(2-amino-5 bromophenyl telluride(7), propyl(2-amino-5-bromo phenyl) telluride(8) and butyl(2-amino-5-bromophenyl) telluride(9). All new compounds were characterized by CHN and IR spectroscopy. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
