title: Synthesis, characterization and oxidizing properties of a diorgano tellurone carrying bulky aromatic substituents.
abstract: Bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl) tellurone (Tip(2)TeO(2)) was prepared, fully characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses, as well as theoretical calculations, and found to be an effective oxidizing agent that was capable of converting alcohols into carbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions.
