Ambroxol used as an expectorant in treating respiratory diseases was effectively prepared with a total yield of 62 %, with o-toluidine as the feedstock via successive procedures of electrophilic bromination, acetylation, radical benzylic bromination, N-alkylation and hydrolysis processes. The addition of aqueous hydrogen peroxide could enhance the utilisation of liquid bromine in the electrophilic bromination of o-toluidine, avoiding the hazardous HBr generated as a by-product. In addition, liquid bromine promoted by MnO2 was used efficiently for the radical benzylic bromination of N-acetyl-N-(2,4-dibromo-6-methylphenyl)acetamide under mild conditions.

A number of 2,6-disubstituted and 2,3,6-trisubstituted anilines have been prepared via the selective para dehalogenation of the corresponding anilines. Modification of the substituents on the amino nitrogen demonstrates that the selectivity is derived from steric rather than electronic effects. The effects of the choice of formate hydrogen donor, Pd catalyst, solvent, and temperature upon the efficiency and selectivity of the dehalogenation are discussed.
