The enzyme vanadium bromoperoxidase, one of a larger family of bromoperoxidases, catalyzes this reaction in the marine environment. [9] The oceans are estimated to release 1–2 million tons of bromoform and 56,000 tons of bromomethane annually. [ 10 ]
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.
Most 1-bromoalkanes are prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene, which is 1-pentene in the case of 1-bromopentane. These conditions lead to anti-Markovnikov addition, giving the 1-bromo derivative. [2] It is also formed by the reaction of 1-pentanol with hydrogen bromide.
Vanadium bromoperoxidases have been found in bacteria, fungi, marine macro algae (), and marine microalgae which produce brominated organic compounds. [2]It has not been definitively identified as the bromoperoxidase of higher eukaryotes, such as murex snails, which have a very stable and specific bromoperoxidase, but perhaps not a vanadium dependent one.

tert-Butyl bromide (also referred to as 2-bromo-2-methylpropane) is an organic compound with the formula Me 3 CBr (Me = methyl). The molecule features a tert -butyl group attached to a bromide substituent.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, to be specific those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD + or NADP + as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-malate:NADP + oxidoreductase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating). This enzyme participates in pyruvate metabolism and carbon fixation.
All three have been synthesized by various routes: 1-Bromo-2-chlorobenzene: from 2-chloroaniline, via diazotization followed by a Sandmeyer reaction [1]; 1-Bromo-3-chlorobenzene: by (3-chlorophenyl)trimethylgermanium by electrophilic substitution [2] [better source needed]
