The desired para-monobrominated or ortho-monobrominated products of phenol derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields with high selectivity.

Mild and Regioselective Bromination of Phenols with TMSBr

In this work, an unexpected promoting effect of by-product thioether was observed, leading to a mild and regioselective bromination of phenols with TMSBr. This method can tolerate a series of functional groups such as the reactive methoxyl, amide, fluoro, chloro, bromo, aldehyde, ketone and ester groups, and has the potential to recycle the by-product thioether and isolate the desired product under column chromatography-free conditions. Mechanism studies revealed that O–H···S hydrogen bond may be formed between phenol and by-product thioether. Possibly owing to the steric hindrance effect from by-product thioether, the electrophilic bromination at para-position of phenols is much favorable.

Green halogenation reactions for (hetero)aromatic ring systems in alcohol, water, or no solvent

A new method of brominating aromatic and heteroaromatic ring systems is investigated. The combination of hydrobromic acid as the halogen source, hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, and ethanol, water, or no solvent are evaluated as greener conditions than those that have been previously published. The new conditions give high yields and good regioselectivity for a variety of substrates when the ring is activated by electron-donating groups or heteroatoms. Phenols, anisole, thiophenes, and pyrrole give comparable or superior results when compared to a traditional bromination by N-bromosuccinimide in tetrahydrofuran. Other nitrogen-containing heterocycles do not react under the conditions because they are protonated and hence deactivated; similarly, substrates with electron-withdrawing groups are not brominated. The reaction is very tolerant of a variety of functional groups.

Bromine formation in solid NaBr/KNO3 mixture and assay of this reaction via bromination of activated aromatics

Bromine formation in the mixture of solid NaBr and KNO3 was observed and the process was studied in different acidified organic solvent–water mixtures by monitoring the bromination of acetanilide and other compounds, containing activated aromatic substituents. This assay is based on fast bromination reaction of these aromatic compounds, as differently from the assay of Br2, the brominated aromatics can be easily determined by conventional gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) methods. It was found that bromine was generated autocatalytically on the surface of salt crystals and the reaction was characterized by a lag period, the duration of which depended on reaction conditions, and importantly on the type of the organic solvent in the reaction mixture. As the bromine formation could be easily controlled by reaction conditions, it was suggested that the studied reaction might have practical applications as an environmentally friendly and economically feasible bromination method. It was also shown that the bromination of aromatics followed the mechanism of classical electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.

A bromo-capped diruthenium(i,i) N-heterocyclic carbene compound for in situ bromine generation with NBS: Catalytic olefin aziridination reactions

A bromo-capped metal-metal bonded diruthenium(i,i) complex Ru2(CO)4(PIN)2Br2 (1) (PIN = 1-isopropyl-3-(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyrid-2-yl)imidazol-2-ylidene) generates bromine with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) at room temperature. Cycloalkene and stilbene are readily brominated by stoichiometric reactions with 1 and NBS. An analysis of the dibrominated products suggests the formation of cyclic bromonium intermediates indicating in situ Br2 generation. Complex 2, an iodide analogue of 1, is also synthesized. The reaction of 2 with N-iodosuccinimide releases I2, which is confirmed by the starch-iodine test. The catalytic utility of 1 is examined for the bromination of phenol. Catalyst 1, in combination with NBS and base, exhibits regioselectivity towards monobrominated products. Furthermore, efficient olefin aziridination is demonstrated utilizing catalyst 1 in the presence of NBS, K2CO3 and TsNH2.
