| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
DI-n-butyltellurium is a nucleophile used in the synthesis of tellurium salts, which undergo many transformations; used as a halophile and reducing agent. | [Preparation]
Dibutyl telluride and diisobutyl telluride are prepared from n-butyl bromide and isobutyl bromide with Sodium Telluride, which is prepared in situ from Tellurium powder, rongalite (Sodium Hydroxymethanesulfinate), and Sodium Hydroxide in H2O. | [storage]
Stored and handled under N2. Care should be taken in handling Bu2Te and i-Bu2Te; because of their bad smell, experiments should be carried out in an efficient fume hood. |
