Electrochemical bromofunctionalization of alkenes in a flow reactor

The bromination of organic molecules has been extensively studied to date, yet there is still a demand for safe and sustainable methodologies. Hazardous reagents, selectivity, low atom economy and waste production are the most persisting problems of brominating reagents. The electrochemical oxidation of bromide to bromine is a viable strategy to reduce waste by avoiding chemical oxidants. Furthermore, thein situgeneration of reactive intermediates minimizes the risk of hazardous reagents. In this work, we investigate the electrochemical generation of bromine from hydrobromic acid in a flow electrochemical reactor. Various alkenes could be converted to their corresponding dibromides, bromohydrines, bromohydrin ethers and cyclized products in good to excellent yields.

Method for synthesizing photoactive bromohydrin compound

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a photoactive bromohydrin compound, which comprises the following steps: reacting cinnamyl alcohol as shown in a formula I, benzamide bromide as shown in a formula II, a quinine derivative, L-camphorsulfonic acid and water in a first organic solvent to obtain the bromohydrin compound as shown in a formula III. According to the method, raw materials are easy to synthesize, reaction conditions are mild, operation is easy and convenient, the yield reaches up to 47%-87%, enantioselectivity can generally reach 80% or above, and the highest point can even reach 95%.

From simple organobromides or olefins to highly value-added bromohydrins: A versatile performance of dimethyl sulfoxide

A novel and efficient direct transformation of secondary bromides or olefins to highly value-added bromohydrins has been disclosed. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a cheap and common solvent, performs its versatile role as a solvent, an essential oxidant, and also as an oxygen source in this bromohydrin synthesis.
