We established a facile access to an unexplored mirror-image library of chiral natural product derivatives using
Isopentyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (cas: 28322-40-9) belongs to organobromine compounds. Many of the organo bromine compounds are relatively nonpolar. Bromine is more electronegative than carbon (2.8 vs 2.5) and hence the carbon in a carbon–bromine bond is electrophilic in nature. Bromine-containing agents predominate because not only are they more efficient than similar chlorine-containing species, but also the high atomic weight of bromine ensures that it is present in a high mass fraction within most organobromine compounds.Application In Synthesis of Isopentyltriphenylphosphonium bromide
