Carbon‐selenium and carbon‐telluriumcross‐couplings of arylboronic acids with diselenides and ditellurides have been catalyzed by iron(0), iron(II) chloride or iron(III) chloride without any ligand and additive in the air. The method yields the corresponding unsymmetrical diorgano monoselenides and monotellurides in good to excellent yields, displays a broad substrate scope, and is simple, convenient
substitution (SH2) reaction between the aryl radical and diaryl ditelluride. Aryl radicals are generated from arylhydrazines in air and captured by diaryl ditellurides, resulting in a selective formation of unsymmetrical diaryl tellurides with high yields. The electronic effects of the substituents on both arylhydrazines and diaryl ditellurides on the SH2 reaction of tellurium are also discussed in detail.
