N-Bromosuccinimide or NBS is a chemical reagent used in radical substitution, electrophilic addition, and electrophilic substitution reactions in organic chemistry. NBS can be a convenient source of Br • , the bromine radical.
The Wohl–Ziegler reaction [1] [2] is a chemical reaction that involves the allylic or benzylic bromination of hydrocarbons using an N-bromosuccinimide and a radical initiator. [3] Best yields are achieved with N-bromosuccinimide in carbon tetrachloride solvent. Several reviews have been published. [4] [5]
The change in spectroscopic signal as a function of time is recorded, and the rate constants that define the reaction kinetics can then be obtained by fitting the data using a suitable model. Stopped-flow as an experimental technique was introduced by Britton Chance [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and extended by Quentin Gibson . [ 3 ]
Multiple mechanisms may be present to access the product, in which case the order in catalyst or substrate may change depending on the conditions or point in the reaction. A particularly useful probe for changes in reaction mechanism involves examination of the normalized reaction rate vs. catalyst loading at multiple, fixed conversion points.
Structure of N-bromosuccinimide, a common brominating reagent in organic chemistry. Like the other carbon–halogen bonds, the C–Br bond is a common functional group that forms part of core organic chemistry. Formally, compounds with this functional group may be considered organic derivatives of the bromide anion.
Maleimide, N-Chlorosuccinimide, N-Bromosuccinimide Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). N verify ( what is Y N ?)
Free-radical reactions depend on one or more relatively weak bonds in a reagent. Under reaction conditions (typically heat or light), some weak bonds homolyse into radicals, which then induce further decomposition in their compatriots before recombination. Different mechanisms typically apply to reagents without such a weak bond.
A possible mechanism in two elementary steps that explains the rate equation is: NO 2 + NO 2 → NO + NO 3 (slow step, rate-determining) NO 3 + CO → NO 2 + CO 2 (fast step) In this mechanism the reactive intermediate species NO 3 is formed in the first step with rate r 1 and reacts with CO in the second step with rate r 2.
