General description
Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid that can be used as a brominating reagent for the electrophilic and radical bromination of olefins, alkynes, and ketones.
Application
Hydrobromic acid can be used as a brominating agent:
- For the regioselective bromination of anilides to bromoanilides.
- Oxidative bromination of olefins, alkynes, and ketones to corresponding dibrominated alkanes, dibrominated alkenes, and α-bromoketones.
