Facile bromination of o-benzylidene sugar and thf ethers with NBS in chloroform in the presence of AIBN

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608003870

N-Bromosuccinimide in chloroform in the presence of a catalytic amount of AIBN is found to cleave O-benzylidene sugar into bromobenzoate in efficient manner. THP-ethers were cleaved into bromides and bromo-esters in high yield.
