A novel protocol for traceless cleavage from resin-bound selenium and tellurium is
described. The toxic tributyltin hydride that has been used previously as reagent
for cleavage from these resins by homolysis has been replaced by the less-toxic tris(trimethylsilyl)silane
and tris(trimethylsilyl)germane. In addition, the remaining resin-bound chalcogenyl
silane and germane residues were characterised by the use of high-resolution magic-angle
spinning (HR-MAS) 2D 29Si/1H NMR spectroscopy.
