With Cleavage of the Te N Bond

The Te = N bond in diaryl tellurium sulfonimides is cleaved by boiling water, by boiling aqueous solutions of alkali hydroxides, by dry hydrogen chloride, acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride or acetic acid in chloroform.  

Diaryl tellurium imides react with thiols, thiobenzamide, thiourea, and N,N -diphenylthiourea to produce diaryl telluriums and amides. 

Diaryl tellurium benzenesulfonimides reacted with diphenyl ditellurium in absolute chloroform to give iV,7V-bis phenyltelluro]benzenesulfonamides, diaryl telluriums, and benzenesulfonamides.  

Diaryl tellurium arenesulfonimides and excess dry methyl iodide in a sealed tube at 100° produced diaryl tellurium diiodides and A -methyl arenesulfonamides. With wet methyl iodide, bis[diphenyl tellurium iodide] oxide was formed  

Diaryl tellurium trifluoroacetimides and sulfonimides react with l,3-dioxo-5,5-dimeth-ylcyclohexane in chloroform at 20° to produce diaryl 2,6-dioxo-4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexyl-idene telluriums.
