Application
It can be used:
- To brominate alkylbenzenes at the benzylic position using photocatalytic conditions.
- To prepare brominated aromatic compounds by electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts.
- For the bromination of carbonyl compounds at a carbonyl group via Hell-Volhard-Zelinski reaction in the presence of phosphorus trihalides.
- To prepare isocyanates, carbamates, or amines by reacting with primary amides in the presence of base via Hofmann rearrangement.
