1,2-Dibromoethane has been employed as an efficient brominating agent of tertiary carbanions in sterically congested molecules, allowing the stereoselective synthesis of 2-bromoesters in mild conditions and being compatible with the presence of C-C double bonds.Alkylation is the predominating process when tertiary or secondary carbanions in flexible open chains were used.An interpretation of these facts is provided.
