An easy one-step procedure for the synthesis of novel β-functionalised tellurides

Novel β-hydroxy-,β-amino- and β-mercapto- dialkyl- and phenyl-alkyl tellurides have been achieved through regioselective ring opening reactions of oxiranes, aziridines and thiiranes with different Te-nucleophiles, including tellurosilanes. Tellurium-125 NMR chemical shifts of selected compounds have been measured.
