An environmentally benign, clean, solvent-free approach for benzylic bromination has been developed using concentrated solar radiation (CSR). The protocol was found to be superior to the conventional photochem. and thermal methods in terms of reaction time and total energy requirement. This method was adapted with concentrated solar radiation in solvent-free conditions without the use of radical initiators and has proved to provide substituted benzyl bromides RCH2Br (R = 2-MeC6H4, 2-FC6H4, 3-O2NC6H4, etc.) in good yields. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-(Bromomethyl)benzoic acid (cas: 6515-58-8Category: bromides-buliding-blocks).
3-(Bromomethyl)benzoic acid (cas: 6515-58-8) belongs to organobromine compounds. Bromo compounds are employed in a variety of metal-catalyzed coupling reactions. They are also ideal candidates for the synthesis of Grignard reagents that have wide-applicability in organic synthesis. alpha-Bromoesters are employed in the Reformatsky reaction for the synthesis of beta-hydroxyesters. The principal reactions for organobromides include dehydrobromination, Grignard reactions, reductive coupling, and nucleophilic substitution.Category: bromides-buliding-blocks
