Diisobutylaluminium hydride (Bui2AlH) undergoes reaction with elemental selenium and tellurium to afford new reagents having an Al–Se or an Al–Te bond. These directly convert amides to selenoamides and telluroformamides. This affords a one-pot route to selenoamides and telluroformamides starting from Se and Te, and may be suitable for large scale syntheses.
