Inspired by the synthetic and biological potential of organotellurium substances, a series of five- and six-membered ring organotelluranes containing a Te?O bond were synthesized and characterized. Theoretical calculations elucidated the mechanism for the oxidation-cyclization processes involved in the formation of the heterocycles, consistent with chlorine transfer to hydroxy telluride, followed by a cyclization step with simultaneous formation of the new Te?O bond and deprotonation of the OH group. Moreover, theoretical calculations also indicated anti-diastereoisomers to be major products for two chirality center–containing compounds. Antileishmanial assays against Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes disclosed 1,2λ4-oxatellurane LQ50 (IC50=4.1±1.0; SI=12), 1,2λ4-oxatellurolane LQ04 (IC50=7.0±1.3; SI=7) and 1,2λ4-benzoxatellurole LQ56 (IC50=5.7±0.3; SI=6) as more powerful and more selective compounds than the reference, being up to four times more active. A stability study supported by 125Te NMR analyses showed that these heterocycles do not suffer structural modifications in aqueous-organic media or at temperatures up to 65 °C.

Paragraph 0057-0070, (2021/03/31)
The invention relates to a synthetic method of a diaryl ditellurium ether compound. The method comprises the following steps: putting phenylboronic acid or derivatives thereof, elemental tellurium, trimethylcyano silane and an organic solvent into a reaction container to obtain a mixed solution, heating the mixed solution to 110-140 DEG C, performing stirring to react for 18-30 hours at the temperature to obtain a reaction solution, and carrying out aftertreatment to obtain the diaryl ditellurium ether compound, the ratio of the phenylboronic acid or the derivative thereof to the elemental tellurium to the trimethylnitrile silane is (7-9): (8-10): 1. The synthetic method of the diaryl ditellurium ether compound has the following beneficial effects: 1, the reaction can be performed withoutmetal participation, so that the synthetic method is more environment-friendly and lower in cost; 2, the compatibility of a substrate is good; and 3, the preparation process is simple and easy to operate.

l-Selenocystine (5) and l-tellurocystine (6) have been prepared and the reactivity of these amino acids, i.e., oxidation of 5 and 6, has been performed at various pH values. Hydrogen peroxide was used as an oxidant and it was treated with 5 and 6 in excess in acidic and basic media. Compound 5, upon oxidation, afforded SeIV and SeVI products. Selenocysteic acid [HO3SeCH2CH(NH2)COOH] 9, a novel SeVI compound, was isolated and characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In contrast, l-tellurocystine, upon oxidation with H2O2, afforded TeII and TeIV products. Zwitterionic organotellurolate(IV), [TeCl3CH2CH(NH3)COOH] 13, was isolated and characterised by NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Compound 13 crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group. l-Tellurocystine, when reduced with NaBH4, produced the desired tellurolate intermediate, which was trapped with bromoacetic acid. Furthermore, l- and d-tellurocysteine derivatives, [(RTeCH2CH(NH2)COOH) R=phenyl, substituted phenyl and naphthyl (24–39)] were synthesised and evaluated for their glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activities. The results show that l-tellurocysteine derivatives have higher activity than their D-tellurocysteine analogues. DFT calculations for l-tellurocysteine derivatives provided information about the bond lengths and bond angles. This study reveals that the introduction of naphthyl substituents (35–38) leads to twisted conformation of the amino acid derivatives.
