Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes by homolytic hydrobromination of alkynes with hydrogen bromide

Homolytic hydrobromination of terminal and internal alkynes with a commercially available solution of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid has been investigated for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes. Under an aerobic atmosphere at room temperature, the reaction of ethynylarenes with a small excess of HBr efficiently gave (2-bromoethenyl)arenes with good to high E-selectivity. (Alk-1-ynyl)arenes, or internal alkynes bearing both phenyl and alkyl groups at the sp-carbons also underwent the air-initiated hydrobromination to exhibit high Z-selectivity under kinetic conditions using a half equivalent of HBr.

Atom-economical brominations with tribromide complexes in the presence of oxidants

Bromination is an important transformation in organic synthesis, and novel efficient bromination techniques are still required. Herein, we demonstrate atom-economical brominations using (DMI)2HBr3, a novel tribromide complex, with oxidants such as DMSO and Oxone. Using this system, olefinic and aromatic brominations, as well as selective α-monobrominations of ketones proceeded well to afford the desired bromides in good yields. Importantly, in these reactions all of the bromine atoms in this complex are used to brominate.

Alkoxybromination of olefins using ammonium bromide and oxone

A mild, efficient, and highly regio- and stereoselective method for the methoxy and ethoxy bromination of olefins has been developed using NH 4Br as a bromine source and Oxone as an oxidant. Various kinds of olefins (aromatic, linear, and cyclic olefins) afforded the corresponding alkoxy brominated products in moderate to excellent yields. Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
