SYNTHESIS OF AROMATIC POLYHALOGENATED HALOMETHYL COMPOUNDS

The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of highly pure Pentabromobenzyl bromide, PBB-Br, wherein the benzylic bromination reaction is carried out in a suitable organic solvent in the presence of water and wherein the reaction temperature is such that it is sufficient to activate the initiator but not high enough to consume a substantial amount thereof.

Deuteriodediazoniation: A general method for the replacement of a diazonium group by deuterium

Aromatic amino groups are replaced with deuterium via a diazonium salt intermediate. Dimethylformamide-d7 is the deuterium donor in this mild replacement method that yields aromatic-d1 products in high isotopic purity. The presence of methyl groups lowers the isotopic purity of the products.
