General description
LiBr/Chlorotrimethylsilane reagent participates in the conversion of alcohols to bromides.
Application
Lithium bromide (LiBr) may be employed as a catalyst in the following studies:
- Transformation of (aromatic- and α,β-unsaturated) aldehydes to dithioacetals via solvent-free dithioacetalization.
- Synthesis of olefins via condensation reaction of carbonyl compounds with active methylene compounds.
- Green synthesis of β-amino alcohols.
- Chemo- and regioselective bromination of aromatic compounds was carried out by employing LiBr/ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) reagent system (as a source of Br+ ion).
