Reaction of tellurium tetrachloride with cyclohexene and the crystal structure of racemic bis(trans-2-chlorocyclohexyl)tellurium dichloride
Abstract
The confusing background literature concerning the reaction between tellurium tetrachloride and cyclohexene and the stereochemistry of the product has been surveyed. The crystal structure of racemic bis(trans-2-chlorocyclohexyl)tellurium dichloride was determined and compared with that of the previously reported meso isomer.
