This work focuses on the bromination ofp-bromotoluene (PBT) using different brominating agents such as liquid Br2, NaBr-NaBrO3, NaBr-NaBrO3-NaCl, NaBr-H2O2, and HBr-H2O2. NaBr-NaBrO3-NaCl is an eco-friendly brominating agent obtained from a bromine recovery plant. Both NaBr-NaBrO3and NaBr-NaBrO3-NaCl were found to be nonhazardous and efficient brominating agents. Pure NaBr-NaBrO3resulted in the best PBT conversion with 79.7% Br atom efficiency in water and 98.2% average Br atom efficiency using dichloroethane as a solvent. Dichloroethane is de facto no longer used in the US and Europe and is not eco-friendly; the process with water as a solvent is the best. The substrate to active bromine molar ratio of 3:1 was found to be sufficient to get the maximum selectivity ofp-bromobenzyl bromide (PBBB). The low-temperature crystallization method was used for separation cum purification of the product. Unreacted PBT was recycled along with the dibromo byproduct obtained. The dibromo product, which was built up gradually in the reaction mixture over 10 successive batches, was converted back into PBBB/PBT through NaBH4treatment of the mother liquor. This continuous process is highly sustainable and produces zero organic waste, making it potentially attractive toward green industrial implementation.

The direct chlorination of C-H bonds has received considerable attention in recent years. In this work, a metal-free protocol for hydrocarbon C-H bond chlorination with commercially available N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) with 2,3-dicyano-5,6-dichlorobenzoquinone (DDQ) functioning as an external radical initiator is presented. Aliphatic and benzylic substituents and also heteroaromatic ones were found to be well tolerated. Both the experiments and theoretical analysis indicate that the reaction goes through a process wherein NHPI functions as a catalyst rather than as an initiator. On the other hand, the hydrogen abstraction of the C-H bond conducted by a PINO species rather than the highly reactive N-centered radicals rationalizes the high chemoselectivity of the monochlorination obtained by this protocol as the latter is reactive towards the C(sp3)-H bonds of the monochlorides. The present results could hold promise for further development of a nitroxy-radical system for the highly selective functionalization of the aliphatic and benzylic hydrocarbon C-H.

An efficient reagent system, Ph3P/XCH2CH2X (X = Cl, Br, or I), was very effective for the deoxygenative halogenation (including fluorination) of alcohols (including tertiary alcohols) and aldehydes. The easily available 1,2-dihaloethanes were used as key reagents and halogen sources. The use of (EtO)3P instead of Ph3P could also realize deoxy-halogenation, allowing for a convenient purification process, as the byproduct (EtO)3Pa?O could be removed by aqueous washing. The mild reaction conditions, wide substrate scope, and wide availability of 1,2-dihaloethanes make this protocol attractive for the synthesis of halogenated compounds.
