The reaction of SF5Br with select 1,2-dihaloethylenes

SF5Br reacts with 1,2-haloethylenes (F, Cl, Br) in distinct ways. In the case of F- and Cl-olefins, the expected addition occurs while with 1,2-dibromoethylene a metathetical reaction yielding in a clean reaction a 1:1 mixture of SF5CH{double bond, long}CHBr and CHBr2CHBr2 is found. The mechanism for this reaction is discussed.

Functionalization of saturated hydrocarbons by aprotic superacids 4. Ionic bromination of ethane and other alkanes and cycloalkanes with molecular bromine in the presence of systems based on polyhalomethanes and AlBr3 under mild conditions

Aprotic organic superacids CBr4 · 2AlBr3, CBr4 · AlBr3, · CCl4 · 2AlBr3, CCl4 · 2AlBr3, and C6F5CF3 · 2AlBr3 efficiently catalyze the bromination of alkanes and cycloalkanes with Br2. Ethane is selectively brominated at 55-65 °C to give mostly 1,2-dibromoethane (stoichiometric reaction). Propane, butane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, and methyl-cyclopentane react with Br2 at -40 to -20 °C with good selectivity affording monobromides in high yields (catalytic reactions).

Laser Pulse Photolysis of 7-Silanorbornadiene in Solution: Experimental and AM1 Studies of Complexation between Silylenes and CHBr3

The quantum yield (0.95 +/- 0.1) for the decomposition of 7,7-dimethyl-1,4,5,6-tetraphenyl-2,3-benzo-7-silanorbornadiene (Ib) in hexane at room temperature has been determined by the laser pulse photolysis technique.Reaction rate constants of the generated dimethylsilylene with bromoform (4.4 * 107 M-1 s-1) and Ib (5.7 * 109 M-1 s-1) have been measured.It is suggested that the reaction of Me2Si: with CHBr3 occurs via the formation of an intermediate complex (λmax = 338 nm, ε =1280 M-1 cm-1).The bimolecular rate constant for decay of the complex (2k = 1.61 * 109 M-1 s-1) has also been estimated.Semi-empirical PM3 calculations of the model reaction between the singlet SiH2 and CHBr3 show the formation at the first step of the reaction of a donor-acceptor complex stabilized by interactions between a vacant p-AO of SiH2 and a lone pair of one of the Br atoms.Such a complex should be rather stable both toward dissociation into the starting reagents (E = 23.3 kcal/mol) and further rearrangement into the insertion product, Br(H2)SiCHBr2 (E = 22.3 kcal/mol).
