Photosensitized oxygenation of diaryl tellurides to telluroxides and their oxidizing properties.
Photosensitized oxidation of tellurides carrying bulky aromatic substituents afforded the corresponding telluroxides which were found to react with simple alcohols to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds in excellent yields along with the starting tellurides.
