Monobromoborane?dimethyl sulfide (BH2Br?SMe2) is a highly regio- and chemoselective reagent useful for the brominative cleavage of the epoxy moiety into bromohydrins in the presence of alkenes, alkynes, ethers, acetals, ketals, and acetonides at 0°C, besides being an excellent hydroborating reagent. Several reactive functional groups, such as chloride, ketones, esters, nitriles, nitros, and thioethers, have been accommodated during such transformations. Although the reduction of acetophenone was completely suppressed at ?25°C, 4-chlorobenzaldehyde still underwent 12?13% reduction of an aldehydic group. CSIRO 2007.

The bromination of organic molecules has been extensively studied to date, yet there is still a demand for safe and sustainable methodologies. Hazardous reagents, selectivity, low atom economy and waste production are the most persisting problems of brominating reagents. The electrochemical oxidation of bromide to bromine is a viable strategy to reduce waste by avoiding chemical oxidants. Furthermore, thein situgeneration of reactive intermediates minimizes the risk of hazardous reagents. In this work, we investigate the electrochemical generation of bromine from hydrobromic acid in a flow electrochemical reactor. Various alkenes could be converted to their corresponding dibromides, bromohydrines, bromohydrin ethers and cyclized products in good to excellent yields.
Asymmetric alkyl-alkyl cross-couplings of unactivated secondary alkyl electrophiles: Stereoconvergent suzuki reactions of racemic acylated halohydrins

A method for asymmetric alkyl-alkyl Suzuki reactions of unactivated secondary alkyl electrophiles, specifically, cross-couplings of racemic acylated halohydrins with alkylborane reagents, has been developed. A range of protected bromohydrins, as well as a protected chlorohydrin and a homologated bromohydrin, are coupled in good ee by a catalyst derived from commercially available components.
