Flexible on-site halogenation paired with hydrogenation using halide electrolysis

Direct electrochemical halogenation has appeared as an appealing approach in synthesizing organic halides in which inexpensive inorganic halide sources are employed and electrical power is the sole driving force. However, the intrinsic characteristics of direct electrochemical halogenation limit its reaction scope. Herein, we report an on-site halogenation strategy utilizing halogen gas produced from halide electrolysis while the halogenation reaction takes place in a reactor spatially isolated from the electrochemical cell. Such a flexible approach is able to successfully halogenate substrates bearing oxidatively labile functionalities, which are challenging for direct electrochemical halogenation. In addition, low-polar organic solvents, redox-active metal catalysts, and variable temperature conditions, inconvenient for direct electrochemical reactions, could be readily employed for our on-site halogenation. Hence, a wide range of substrates including arenes, heteroarenes, alkenes, alkynes, and ketones all exhibit excellent halogenation yields. Moreover, the simultaneously generated H2at the cathode during halide electrolysis can also be utilized for on-site hydrogenation. Such a strategy of paired halogenation/hydrogenation maximizes the atom economy and energy efficiency of halide electrolysis. Taking advantage of the on-site production of halogen and H2gases using portable halide electrolysis but not being suffered from electrolyte separation and restricted reaction conditions, our approach of flexible halogenation coupled with hydrogenation enables green and scalable synthesis of organic halides and value-added products.

On the bromination of aromatics, alkenes and alkynes using alkylammonium bromide: Towards the mimic of bromoperoxidases reactivity

This article describes an efficient method of bromination of organic substrates including aromatics, alkenes and alkynes with NH4VO3as a catalyst and H2O2as an oxidant agent using a non-toxic and easy-to-handle source of bromine, tetrabutylammonium bromide. The process was developed under mild reaction conditions and is an innovation from reported methods in aspects such as: i) short reaction times, ii) the ability to work at room temperature, iii) regioselectivity and good yields.

Oxidative functional group transformations with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by a divanadium-substituted phosphotungstate

A divanadium-substituted phosphotungstate TBA4[γ-PW 10O38V2(μ-OH)(μ-O)] (I, TBA = tetra-n-butylammonium) reacts with one equivalent H+ to form a bis-μ-hydroxo species [γ-PW10O38V 2(μ-OH)2]3- (I′) in organic media. The strong electrophilic oxidants such as [γ-PW10O 38V2(μ-OH)(μ-OOH)]3- (II) and [γ-PW10O38V2(μ-η2: η2-O2)]3- (III) are formed by the reaction of the bis-μ-hydroxo species with H2O2. In the presence of I and H+, H2O2-based oxidations such as (i) epoxidation of alkenes (17 examples including electron-deficient ones), (ii) hydroxylation of alkanes (11 examples), and (iii) oxidative bromination of alkenes, alkynes, and aromatics with Br- as a bromo source (12 examples including chlorination) chemo-, diastereo-, and regioselectively proceed to give the corresponding oxidized products in moderate to high yields with high efficiencies of H2O2 utilization.

An efficient vanadium-catalyzed bromination reaction

An efficient catalytic oxidative bromination of arenes, alkenes, and alkynes in aqueous media was achieved under relatively mild conditions by using NH4VO3 catalyst combined with H2O2, HBr, and KBr. Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide was found to serve as an efficient surfactant to facilitate the NH4VO3-catalyzed bromination in aqueous media.

Mild oxidative bromination of alkenes and alkynes with zinc bromide and lead tetraacetate

Zinc bromide and lead tetraacetate is a practical and safe source of bromine. The combined reagents are used to brominate a variety of alkenes to vicinal dibromoalkanes. Similarly, alkynes can be converted into dibromoalkenes in high yields. The reagents are also capable of tetrabromination of alkynes.

Bromide ions and methyltrioxorhenium as cocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide oxidations and brominations

Oxidation of alcohols by hydrogen peroxide is negligible; even when catalyzed by methyltrioxorhenium (MTO), the process requires a long reaction time. The addition of a catalytic quantity of bromide ions, as HBr or NaBr, greatly enhances the rate. Some of the reactions were carried out on a larger scale in glacial acetic acid, and others at kinetic concentrations. The data establish that Br2 is the active oxidizing agent in the system, because the catalytic rates under suitable circumstances match those for the independently measured Br2 reaction with alcohol (benzyl alcohol, in particular). At much lower levels of MTO, however, Br2 formation plays a role in the kinetics. Certain other reluctant transformations are conveniently carried out with the MTO/H2O2/Br- combination: aldehydes to methyl esters; 1,3-dioxolanes to glycol monoesters; and ethers (with cleavage) to ketones (mostly), but in fair yield only. When Br- was used in stoichiometric quantity, certain bromination reactions occur. Thus, phenyl acetylenes (PhC2R, R = H, Me, Ph) are converted to dibromoalkenes that are entirely or largely formed as the trans isomer, and phenols are brominated. The latter reaction shows the preference para > ortho > meta. Kinetic studies of benzyl alcohol oxidation with MTO/H2O2Br- were carried out in aqueous solution. With sufficient (normal) levels of MTO, the rate constant for the formation of benzaldehyde agreed with the independently determined value for Br2 + PhCH2OH, k = 4.3 x 10-3 L mol-1 s-1 at 25.0 °C; for sec- phenethyl alcohol, k = (9.8 ± 0.4) x 10-3 L mol-1 s-1. Bromine is formed from the known oxidation of Br- with H2O2, catalyzed by MTO. This reaction results in BrO-/HBOr, which is then rapidly converted to Br2. However, with substantially lower concentrations of MTO, the buildup of benzaldehyde is ca. 4-fold slower, reflecting the diminished rate of Br- oxidation.

Spectroscopic and theoretical investigations of electrophilic bromination reactions of alkynes: The first evidence for π complexes as reaction intermediates

A bromine-alkyne π complex (λmax = 294 nm) of 1:1 stoichiometry has been observed for the first time in the course of the bromination of 1-phenylpropyne by means of a diode-array stopped-flow technique. The formation enthalpy and entropy (ΔHsu

Regio- and Stereochemistry of Bromochlorinations of Alkynes with molecular Bromine Chloride and Dichlorobromate(1-) Ion

The bromochlorination of phenyl- and alkyl-substituted acetylenes with tetrabutylammonium dichlorobromate(1-) (1) in dichloromethane was found to be anti-stereospecific and nonregiospecific (regiospecific in the case of phenylacetylene).Whereas the addition of molecular bromine chloride (2) to phenyl-substituted acetylenes was found to give nonstereospecific and regiospecific adducts, the reaction of alkyl-substituted acetylenes gave anti-stereospecific and nonregiospecific adducts.These results suggest that the addition of 1 involves an attack of chloride ion to a three-centered ?-complex in the product-forming stage, and that the addition of 2 to phenyl-substituted acetylenes involves a vinyl cation intermediate (but a bridged bromonium ion intermediate in the case of alkyl-substituted acetylenes).
