Synthesis of cetyltrimethylammonium tribromide (CTMATB) and its application in the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides

The bright yellow crystalline cetyltrimethylammonium tribromide (CTMATB) reagent has been synthesized from the reaction of CTMAB and KBr with H2MoO4·H2O, H2O2 and H2SO4 in the molar ratio 1:2:0.01:4:0.93. CTMATB selectively oxidizes a variety of dialkyl and alkyl aryl sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides in high yields under mild conditions.

Green synthesis of bromo organic molecules and investigations on their antibacterial properties: An experimental and computational approach

A simple, environmentally benign methodology has been developed to synthesize some bromoorganic compounds which have potential as antimicrobial agents. The required compounds were obtained through microwave (MW) irradiation, on-water reactions and using cetyltrimethylammonium tribromide (CTMATB) as the bromine source. The high yield of the product could be achieved within short reaction times, thus representing the main attribute of the present synthetic approach. The compounds were evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. Further, in silico studies were carried out to elucidate the interactions of the compounds with the bacterial proteins.

Sodium hypochlorite-promoted novel synthesis of organic ammonium tribromides and application of phenanthroline hydrotribromide in chemoselective oxidation of organic sulfides by hydrogen peroxide

A novel method of synthesis of organic ammonium tribromides (OATBs) is developed by using an inexpensive and eco-friendly sodium hypochlorite as oxidant for conversion of Br to Br3 . The OATBs thus prepared include both quaternary ammonium tribromides and N-heterocyclic tribromides. A new addition to the family of OATBs is made in the form of phenanthroline hydrotribromide. The efficacy of this new tribromide as catalyst is ascertained in the oxidative transformation of organic sulfides to their corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones by hydrogen peroxide.
