Abstract In wake of emerging applications of organotellurium compounds in biological and material science avenues, the current review describes their key synthetic methodologies while focusing the synthesis of organotellurium compounds through five ligand-to-metal linkages including carbon; carbon-oxygen; carbon-nitrogen; carbon-metal; carbon-sulfur to tellurium. In all of these linkages whether tellurium links with ligands through a complicated or simple pathways, it is often governed through electrophilic substitution reactions. The present study encompasses these major synthetic routes so as to acquire comprehensive understanding of synthetic organotellurium compounds.

有机碲化合物：合成方法概述

摘要 随着有机碲化合物在生物和材料科学领域的新兴应用，本综述描述了它们的关键合成方法，同时通过包括碳在内的五种配体-金属键来合成有机碲化合物；碳氧；碳氮；碳金属；碳硫到碲。在所有这些连接中，无论碲通过复杂还是简单的途径与配体连接，它通常是通过亲电取代反应控制的。本研究涵盖了这些主要的合成路线，以便全面了解合成有机碲化合物。
