react with dibutyl ditelluride and sodium borohydride in ethanol under reflux to give (Z)-1-butyltelluro-1,4-bis(organyl) but-1-en-3-ynes, which by treatment with butyllithium followed by water give (E)-1,4-bis(organyl) but-1-en-3-ynes in high yields.

Z-Vinylic tellurides, obtained with 100% stereoselectivity by the hydrotelluration of acetylenes, are easily transformed into Z-vinylic higher order cyanocuprates by reaction with preformed Me(2)Cu(CN)Li-2, n-Bu(2)Cu(CN)Li-2, or n-Bu(2-Th)Cu(CN)Li-2, with total retention of the double-bond configuration. The resulting vinylic higher order cyanocuprates react with unhindered enones to give the corresponding 1,4-addition products in good yields. Reaction of the vinylic higher order cyanocuprates with monosubstituted epoxides at 0 degrees C gives the homoallylic alcohols resulting from the attack to the less-substituted carbon atom, while the disubstituted epoxides failed to react. Allylic epoxides react at -78 degrees C with the vinylic higher order cyanocuprates to give mixtures of 1,2- and 1,4-opening products, the 1,4-product predominating. In all cases the double-bond configuration of the original vinylic telluride was preserved. The vinylic cuprates derived from simple vinylic tellurides and conjugated 1-telluroenynes react with epoxides at 0 degrees C, while vinylic cuprates derived from conjugated 1-tellurodienes required the addition of 1 equiv of BF3 . Et(2)O to give the homoallylic alcohols on reaction with epoxides. The opening of optically pure epoxides through tellurium/copper transmetalation is stereospecific, giving one single stereoisomer of the corresponding homoallylic alcohol.

The iodocyclization of(Z)-tellurobutenynes 5a-g by reaction with I-2/petroleum ether was studied in detail. 3-Iodotellurophenes 7a-f were formed, and optimum conditions to obtain these compounds in high yields were established. The reaction involves attack of iodide at the initially formed intermediate of type 10 followed by ring closure that is favored by the strong aromatic character of the resulting products. Two possible and alternative pathways for the ring closure are proposed to explain our observations: (a) transformation of 10 to 11 that undergoes further cyclization to give 7a-f (pathway a) or (b) direct cyclization of 10 to give tellurophene diiodide 9 (pathway b). The products and side products obtained are in agreement with the proposed mechanisms. Formation of 7a from ditelluride 14 and iodine provides additional evidence of the intermediacy of 11 (in pathway a). Structures of 7a and 5g were elucidated by X-ray crystallography. In the case of compound 5e, where a terminal triple bond was present, the resulting intermediate of type 10 also underwent the attack of iodide directly at the terminal carbon to give compound 12 together with 7e. Ring-opening of 3-iodotellurophene 7a occurs by reaction with n-butyllithium to form acyclic ditelluride 14 or monotelluride 16 depending on. the alkyllithium amounts employed. Plausible mechanisms for these novel reactions are proposed and supported. Conversion of 7a to 3-(butyltelluro)-2,5-diphenyltellurophen (22) was carried out readily by an unusual ''aromatic nucleophilic substitution'' using the butyl tellurolate anion.

(-)-Gymnodimine is a member of a unique class of potent marine toxins possessing imines within a spirocylic array. Herein we report the synthesis of the tetrahydrofuran fragment and a strategy toward the spirocyclic imine fragment of this family of toxins. Key reactions include an asymmetric anti-aldol reaction to set the stereochemistry of the tetrahydrofuran and a formal, intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction involving an alpha-methylene-delta-lactam and a dienyne.
