Pyridinium perbromide (also called pyridinium bromide perbromide, pyridine hydrobromide perbromide, or pyridinium tribromide) is an organic chemical composed of a pyridinium cation and a tribromide anion. It can also be considered as a complex containing pyridinium bromide—the salt of pyridine and hydrogen bromide—with an added bromine (Br ...
Tribromide is the anion with the chemical formula Br 3 −, or salts containing it: . Tetrabutylammonium tribromide; Tetrabromophosphonium tribromide; Pyridinium perbromide; Sodium and potassium tribromides can be prepared by reacting NaBr or KBr with aqueous bromine.
Pyridinium refers to the cation [C 5 H 5 NH] +. It is the conjugate acid of pyridine . Many related cations are known involving substituted pyridines, e.g. picolines, lutidines, collidines.
The pyridinium cation is isoelectronic with benzene. Pyridinium p - toluenesulfonate (PPTS) is an illustrative pyridinium salt; it is produced by treating pyridine with p -toluenesulfonic acid . In addition to protonation , pyridine undergoes N-centred alkylation , acylation , and N -oxidation .
Bromoantimonates can have antimony in one of two oxidation states, either +3 or +5.These are designated by bromoantimonate(III) or bromoantimonate(V). Although antimony tribromide is known, SbBr 5 on its own does not exist, despite the existence of SbBr − 6. [1]
With a pK a of 5.25 for its conjugate acid, pyridine is about 15x less basic than imidazole. Pyridine is a weak pi-acceptor ligand. Trends in the M-N distances for complexes of the type [MCl 2 (py) 4] 2+ reveal an anticorrelation with d-electron count. [2]
Pyridinium chlorochromate in a vial. Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is a yellow-orange salt with the formula [C 5 H 5 NH] + [CrO 3 Cl] −. It is a reagent in organic synthesis used primarily for oxidation of alcohols to form carbonyls. A variety of related compounds are known with similar reactivity.
Selective α-bromination of the acetyl group with pyridinium tribromide gives a bromoketone whose carbonyl group is reduced with sodium borohydride to produce a bromoethanol derivative. Treatment of this with tert-butylamine yields broxaterol. [2] [3] [4] [5]
