23. We did not find the method suggested in ref 10 for in-situ generation of sodium telluride to be consistently reproducible.
24. The reaction can be performed without the assistance of ultrasound, but requires longer reaction times (2 days) and higher temperatures (60 °C). The extrusion is likely a radical process: Clive, D. L. J.; Anderson, P. C.; Moss, N.; Singh, A. J. Org. Chem. 1982, 47, 1641.
