"conjugate" substitution of hydrogen in the methyl group of pentabromotoluene in the presence of strong bases

The reactions of pentabromotoluene with i-PrONa or t-BuONa in pyridine give N-(pentabromobenzyl)pyridinium bromide and a mixture of isomeric tetrabromotoluenes. In the presence of bromine or carbon tetrabromide, the reductive debromination is blocked, and the reactions involve exclusively substitution of hydrogen in the methyl group of pentabromotoluene by the pyridinium residue.
Regioselectivity of reductive debromination of substituted pentabromobenzenes with sodium tert-butoxide in DMSO

The regioselectivity of reductive debromination of substituted pentabromobenzenes C6Br5X (X = NH2, OMe, Me, H, Cl, F, and NO2) under the action of ButONa in DMSO containing ButOH has been studied. The reaction followed the halophilic mechanism via carbanions.
