N-Bromosuccinimide Applications

N-Bromosuccinimide is a brominating abettor that replaces hydrogen atoms in benzylic or allylic positions. It is acclimated in the blaze of accessory alcohols to ketones and in controlled low-energy brominations.

N-Bromosuccinimide is a actinic reagent acclimated in electrophilic additions and abolitionist barter reactions in constructed amoebic chemistry. In Wohl-Ziegler reaction, it is complex in allylic and benzylic bromination reaction. It is aswell acclimated in the alfa-bromination of carbonyl derivatives. In the Hofmann rearrangement, it is acclimated in the attendance of a able base, such as 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) reacts with primary amides to aftermath a carbamate. It oxidizes silyl ethers to aldehydes in the attendance of azobisisobutyronitrile. It is aswell acclimated for the modification of ribosomal sulfhydryl groups.
