A direct synthesis of 13 polycyclic aromatic tellurides from the corresponding aromatic iodides has been achieved using sodium telluride, prepared by two different methods; (i) using tellurium and Rongalite HOCH2SO2Na in dilute aqueous alkali, and (ii) from tellurium and sodium hydride in dry dimethylformamide. A comparison of these two types of tellurating agents has been made.
