Reaktionssteuerung durch die Struktur eines Phasentransfer-Katalysators bei Tribrommethyl-Anion-/Dibromcarben-Umsetzungen

Control of Reactions with Tribromomethyl Anions/Dibromocarbene by the Nature of the Phase Transfer Catalyst Conversion of (substituted) allyl bromides with bromoform/sodium hydroxide/phase transfer catalyst may be directed towards dibromocarbene addition or substitution by tribromomethyl anion by choice of the catalyst.The observed effects (addition: substitution in the primary step variable between maximally 92:1 and 1:91) are by far the largest reported for specific catalyst influences.Small, hard cations favor the carbene route, sterically shielded and highly delocalized ones favor the substitution process.
