Abstract The reduction of diaryl diselenides and ditelluides by samariumdiiodide led to samarium arylselenolates and samarium aryltellurolates respectively (ArSeSmI2 and ArTeSmI2). These species reacted smoothly with acyl halides and alkylhalides to give selenoesters and alkylselenides or telluroesters and alkyl-tellurides in good yields under mild and neutral condition.
of cerium trichloride and samarium intetrahydrofuran to produce the aryltellurolates. This “living” tellurolate anion species reacted smoothly with acid chlorides and acid anhydrides to afford telluroesters in good yields under mild and neutral conditions.
Acyl radicals generated from either acyl tellurides or alkyltellurides and carbon monoxide react with isonitriles to give α-acyl-substituted imidoyl tellurides in good to excellent yield. Hydrolysis of the product under oxidative conditions provides the corresponding α-acyl amides.

Imidoylation of organotellurium compounds with isonitriles has been investigated in conjunction with the radical-mediated C1 homologation reaction by using CO and isonitriles. Carbon-centered radicals generated photochemically or thermally from organotellurium compounds react with isonitriles in a group-transfer manner to give the corresponding imidoylated products. Organotellurium compounds have been found to serve as effective precursors of a wide variety of stabilized radicals, namely benzyl, alpha -alkoxy, alpha -amino, and acyl radicals, which take part in the imidoylation with high efficiency. The reactions are compatible with various functional groups, and can be carried out in various solvents including environmentally benign water. The reactivity of isonitriles has been compared with that of CO through competition experiments, and the results indicate that isonitriles are superior to CO as radical accepters in reactions with stabilized radicals. The origin of the differences has been addressed in theoretical studies with density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP hybrid functional. The calculations suggest that both carbonylation and imidoylation proceed with low activation energies, and that there an virtually no differences in the kinetic sense, instead, it indicates that thermodynamic effects, namely differences in the stability of the acyl and the imidoyl radicals, control the overall course of the reactions.
