Eco-Friendly Bromination and Oxybromination of Diverse Organic Molecules

This book outlines the eco-friendly brominating reagents available for the bromination of diverse organic substrates. Emphasis is given to the use of eco-friendly brominating reagents comprised of bromide-bromate salts in varying ratios, as these salts generate only aqueous sodium chloride as waste during the bromination process. In this book, each chapter is focused on specific reactions – aromatic reactions; aliphatic substitutions; addition reactions; oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds; oxybromination of alkenes and alkynes; and oxidative esterification have been described. The book’s description of the use of eco-friendly brominating reagents will be useful to academicians, who can follow the simple but novel methods for the preparation of chemical reagents required for their research works. The book will also be of interest to those involved in industry, as these reagents are economically viable when procured in bulk.
