✦ Synopsis

have recently been supplemented by selenophenol['] and transition metal hydrides[''. Reaction with typical hydride reagents such as LiAlH4i31, LiAl(OR)3H[31, and NaBH4i41 are usually sluggish.

In this paper we wish to report that hydrogen telluride['] generated in situ has a high reducing ability toward nitroarenes [Table 1, eq. (I)].
