1,2-Dibromoethane has wider applications in the preparation of other organic compounds including those carrying modified diazocine rings [9] and vinyl bromide that is a precursor to some fire retardants. [4] In organic synthesis, 1,2-dibromoethane is used to brominate carbanions and to activate magnesium for certain Grignard reagents.
Dibromomethane is used as a solvent, gauge fluid, and in organic synthesis (often as 1 H-NMR internal standard). [3] It conviently converts polyols (such as catechols) to their methylenedioxy derivatives, and bromomethylenates enolates. It is a much cheaper precursor to a Simmons-Smith-type reagent than diiodomethane. [5]
Organozinc chemistry is the study of the physical properties, synthesis, ... In this method zinc is activated by 1,2-dibromoethane and trimethylsilyl chloride.
Dibromoethane can refer to either of two isomeric organobromides with the molecular formula C 2 H 4 Br 2: 1,1-Dibromoethane (ethylidene dibromide) 1,2-Dibromoethane (ethylene dibromide)
1,1-Dibromoethane is a clear, slightly brown, flammable chemical compound. [3] It is classified as the organobromine compound, and has the chemical formula C 2 H 4 Br 2 [4] and it is a position isomer of 1,2-dibromoethane. It is commonly seen in industrial chemistry, where it is used as a fuel additive. [5]
In organic synthesis, EtBr is the synthetic equivalent of the ethyl carbocation (Et +) synthon. [5] In reality, such a cation is not actually formed. For example, carboxylates salts are converted to ethyl esters , [ 6 ] carbanions to ethylated derivatives, thiourea into ethylisothiouronium salts, [ 7 ] and amines into ethylamines.
1,2-Dibromoethylene can be synthesized by halogenation of acetylene (C 2 H 2) with bromine (Br 2). [1] In order to prevent the formation of tetrahalogenated compounds, acetylene is used in excess, with Br 2 as the limiting reagent.
The structure of Sumanene can be inferred from oxidation of 1,5,9-trimethyltriphenylene but the first practical synthesis starts from norbornadiene. [2] Norbornadiene is converted into a stannane by action of n-butyllithium, dibromoethane and tributyltinchloride. An Ullmann reaction of this stannane with CuTC affords the benzene core.
