Usage

General Description

3-Bromheptane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C7H15Br. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a faint, sweet odor, and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 3-Bromheptane is primarily used as a synthetic intermediate and reagent in organic chemical syntheses, and it is also utilized as a chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. It is a flammable substance and should be handled with care, as it can be harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or in contact with skin. Additionally, 3-Bromheptane is considered to be hazardous to the environment and should be properly disposed of to prevent contamination of soil and water.

Highly efficient oxidative bromination of alkanes with the HBr-H 2O2 system in the presence of catalyst

Various cycloalkanes and straight-chain alkanes were efficiently brominated with an aqueous HBr-H2O2 system. This oxidative brominating process was promoted by catalysis and irradiation with light. The cycloalkanes were converted to the corresponding bromo-cycloalkanes in moderate yields and the straight-chain alkanes produced dominantly secondary bromides. This simple but effective bromination method of alkanes is characterized by high atom efficiency, inexpensive reagents and the absence of organic waste, which make it a good alternative to the existing method for Ci￡H activation through bromination. A simple, effective, environmentally friendly method was researched for bromination of alkanes in good yield with HBr as the origin of bromine.

Chemoselective monobromination of alkanes promoted by unactivated MnO 2

Reaction of alkanes with bromine promoted by unactivated MnO2 gave the corresponding alkylbromides in excellent yield with good chemoselectivity. The MnO2 could be easily recovered and reused.

ANOMALOUS ORIENTATION EFFECTS DURING BENZOYLOXYLATIONS BY "SILVER BROMIDE DIBENZOATE"

The solid complex formed from bromine and silver benzoate reacts with both arenes and alkenes to form aryl and alkyl benzoates, respectively.Highly unusual substituent effects are observed in the benzoyloxylations of arenes.Electron-withdrawing groups (e.g. -NO2, -CN,-CO-) on the aromatic ring facilitate reaction though directing the attacking reagent exclusively to the meta position.In alkanes, tertiary positions are most prone to attack.
