Alkyl ethynyltellurides

Alkyl ethynyltellurides from dialkylditellurides and pressurized acetylene in the presence of electrophilic reagents (typical procedure) To a mixture of di-isopropyl ditellurides (4.5 g, 13 mmol), powdered KOH (20 g, 303 mmol), methyl iodide (2 g, 14 mmol), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (0.2 g) and benzene (50 mL) was heated (40-50°C) in a 1 L rotating autoclave under acetylene pressure (14 atm) for 5 h. After addition of water the mixture was extracted with benzene, the organic layer was separated and dried over KjCOj. After evaporation of benzene the residue was diluted with ether and precipitated dibenzo-18-crown-6 was fdtered off. After evaporation of ether the residue was distilled in vacuo giving the product (2.3 g, 96% yield).
