Bromine occurrence

The reaction differs from reaction (17.2) because one of the reacting redox species, in the bromine occurrence, appears to be a kind of dimer of the element that suffers... 

Occurrence. Magnesium bromide [7789-48-2] MgBr2, is found in seawater, some mineral springs, natural brines, inland seas and lakes such as the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake, and salt deposits such as the Stassfurt deposits. In seawater, it is the primary source of bromine (qv). By the action of chlorine gas upon seawater or seawater bitterns, bromine is formed (see Chemicals frombrine). 

Occurrence. Bromine [7726-95-6] is found in seawater and in underground brine deposits of marine origin (21). Bromine (qv) is also found in Dead Sea brine and is currently being produced there by the Dead Sea Works.

Although the biosynthetic cascade hypothesis predicts the co-occurrence of endiandric acids D (4) and A (1) in nature, the former compound was not isolated until after its total synthesis was completed in the laboratory (see Scheme 6). Our journey to endiandric acid D (4) commences with the desilylation of key intermediate 22 to give alcohol 31 in 95% yield. The endo side chain is then converted to a methyl ester by hydrolysis of the nitrile to the corresponding acid with basic hydrogen peroxide, followed by esterification with diazomethane to afford intermediate 32 in 92% overall yield. The exo side chain is then constructed by sequential bromination, cyanide displacement, ester hydrolysis (33), reduction, and olefination (4) in a straight-... 

Most of the olefins shown so far, for which reversibility of the bromonium ion formation had been demonstrated, are particular olefins, in which either steric bulk impedes the product forming step, or ring strain in the dibromide product retards this step. In order to check the general occurrence of the reversibility during the bromination reaction, a further approach, based on the cis-trans isomerization of stilbene derivatives during the bromination of the cis isomers, was devised.

One of the earliest observations relating to the possible occurrence of carbanions as reaction intermediates was that the bromination of acetone, in the presence of aqueous base, followed the rate law,... 

Opening an unused but old commercial ampoule of the ice-cooled bromide led to eruption of the decomposed contents [1]. Similar occurrences on 2 occasions were reported later [2], though on both occasions hexabromonaphthalene was identified in the residue (suggesting contamination of the bromide by naphthalene as an additional source of internal pressure). Sulfinyl bromide is of limited stability, decomposing to sulfur, sulfur dioxide and bromine, and so should be stored under refrigeration and used as soon as possible. 

What is retained nowadays of the initial mechanism (Scheme 1) is the occurrence of a cationic intermediate. But bromine bridging is not general, and its magnitude depends mainly on the double bond substituents (Ruasse, 1990). For example, when these are strongly electron-donating, i.e. able to stabilize a positive charge better than bromine, / -bromocarbocations are the bromination intermediates. The flexibility of transition state and intermediate stabilization puts bromination between hydration via carbocations and sulfenylation via onium ions. 

In what follows, we present first the experimental conditions under which it is possible to obtain data relevant to the study of the bromination mechanism, and the present evidence for the occurrence of charge transfer complexes and cationic intermediates on the reaction pathway. Once these... 

Although there is general agreement about the occurrence of ionic intermediates on the bromination pathway, there are only few direct observations of these bromocations. It is still difficult to decide whether they are bridged or open depending on the double-bond substituents.
