An alternative oxidising and brominating method converting alcohols to aldehydes and β-bromoethyl esters using ionic liquid [Bmim][Br3]

[Bmim][Br3] is an oxidising reagent which converts alcohols into aldehydes and ketones in mild conditions and good yields; the use of the ionic liquid (IL) as both an oxidising and a brominating reagent in the one-pot synthesis of β-bromoethyl esters from benzyl alcohols and diols has also been studied.

A new synthetic method for haloalkyl carboxylic esters from the radical ring cleavage of cyclic acetals with haloform

A one-pot reaction of cyclic acetals with haloform catalyzed by AIBN(2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile) provides a novel convenient way to prepare directly haloalkyl carboxylic esters in good yields.
