Preparation and properties of a novel solution of hydrogen bromide (HBr) in 1,4-dioxane: An alternative reagent to HBr gas without protic solvents

A solution of hydrogen bromide (HBr) in 1,4-dioxane was prepared and investigated for its ability to brominate alcohols, and hydrobrominate alkenes. This study revealed that the brominating ability of this HBr/1,4-dioxane solution is equal or superior to that of hydrobromic acid or HBr in acetic acid. The solution of HBr in 1,4-dioxane is robust, exhibiting no decomposition of the solvent, and retaining 97% of its original concentration, when kept at ?25 °C for 30 days. This solution is a liquid alternative to HBr gas without protic solvents.
