Amphiphilic Indoles as Efficient Phase-Transfer Catalysts for Bromination in Water

Brominated compounds are important, but they are usually prepared in organic solvents. Here, efficient amphiphilic indole-based phase-transfer organocatalysts were developed for environmentally benign bromination reactions in water. As test reactions, hydroxybromination of olefins and aromatic bromination could be conducted in a greener and more sustainable manner compared with methods using organic solvents, producing the corresponding bromides in good yields. Some pure products could be obtained without column chromatography.

I2O5-mediated bromohydroxylation and dibromination of olefins using KBr in water

An efficient and green bromohydroxylation and dibromination of various olefins mediated by I2O5 has been developed in this work. A series of olefins gave the corresponding α-bromo-alcohols and dibromides as the major products using KBr as the brominating reagent in aqueous medium at room temperature. The diastereo- and regio-selectivities are extremely high.

Green approach for the conversion of olefins into vic-halohydrins using N-halosuccinimides in ionic liquids

Alkenes undergo smooth bromo- and iodohydroxylation with N-bromo- and N-iodosuccinimides/water, respectively, using the air and moisture stable ionic liquid [bmim]BF4 as a novel recyclable reaction medium in high to quantitative yields. N-Halosuccinimides show enhanced reactivity in ionic liquids thereby reducing the reaction times and improving the yields considerably.
