Benzo Derivatives of l-Oxa-2-Tellura-6-Azacycloocta-3,5-Diene

The method developed for preparation of telluradiazines 89 was applied to the synthesis of benzo derivatives of l-oxa-2-tellura-6-azacycloocta-3,5-diene 100 (99UP2). It involves dehydrobromination of bromotellurenylvinylaldimines 101, obtained by condensation of 2-methyldibromotellurocyclohexenealdehyde with o-aminophenols. Under a treatment of benzene suspension of 101 with triethyl-amine followed by short-term refluxing the reaction mixture the heterocycles 100 were obtained in 71-87% yields.
