Bromoethane is inexpensive and would rarely be prepared in the laboratory. A laboratory synthesis includes reacting ethanol with a mixture of hydrobromic and sulfuric acids. An alternate route involves refluxing ethanol with phosphorus and bromine; phosphorus tribromide is generated in situ. [4]
Bromoform was discovered in 1832 by Löwig who distilled a mixture of bromal and potassium hydroxide, as analogous to preparation of chloroform from chloral. [5]Bromoform can be prepared by the haloform reaction using acetone and sodium hypobromite, by the electrolysis of potassium bromide in ethanol, or by treating chloroform with aluminium bromide.
Bromomethane, commonly known as methyl bromide, is an organobromine compound with formula C H 3 Br.This colorless, odorless, nonflammable gas is produced both industrially and biologically.
Synthesis, reactions, and applications. It is produced from ethylene dibromide: CH 2 Br−CH 2 Br → CH 2 =CHBr + HBr. ... Bromoethane; References

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]
Hydrogen bromide is the inorganic compound with the formula HBr.It is a hydrogen halide consisting of hydrogen and bromine. A colorless gas, it dissolves in water, forming hydrobromic acid, which is saturated at 68.85% HBr by weight at room temperature.
In one laboratory route to 1-bromo-4-iodobenzene, 4-bromoaniline is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium nitrite to form the diazonium salt, which is then treated with potassium iodide to form 1-bromo-4-iodobenzene. [3]
