β¦ Synopsis
The reaction of six 2-acetoxyalkyltellurium trihalides in refluxing dry acetic acid yields haloacetates in addition to the previously observed diacetates. The haloacetates are formed either through direct cleavage of the carbon-tellurium bond with retention of configuration or through initial formation of a neighboring group intermediate that is subsequently attacked by halide ion. Added lithium acetate leads to an increase in S N 2 attack on the tellurium carbon.
