Ethyl a-bromopropionate. This preparation illustrates the facile bromination of an acid chloride (propionyl chloride) in the presence of red phosphorus, and the subsequent conversion of the bromoacid chloride into the ethyl ester by direct interaction with ethanol. 

Phenylpropiolic acid. This is an example of an aromatic acetylenic acid, and is made by adding bromine to the ethylenio linkage in ethyl cinnamate, and treating the resulting dibromide with alcohobc potassium hydroxide which eliminates two molecules of hydrogen bromide ... 

To a mixture of 250 ml of ether and 3 moles of freshly distilled acrolein ivere added about 3 moles of bromine at a rate such that the temperature could easily be maintained between -30 and -90°C (bath of dry-ice-acetone or liquid Nj). After persisting of the browncolour, the temperature was allowed to rise to 0°C. Freshly distilled ethyl orthoformate (3.25 moles) and 96% ethanol (30 ml) were added. 

Another group of halogenated fluorescein dyes is prepared by condensing chloro derivatives of phthalic anhydride with resorcinol, followed by bromination or iodination. Thus Phloxine B /78472-87-2] (Acid Red 92, Cl45410) (42) is prepared by condensing tetrachlorophthaUc anhydride with resorcinol followed by tetrabromination. Phloxine B undergoes ethylation to yield the yellowish ted acid dye Cyanosine B [6441-80-1] (43). 

Dibromoacetic acid [631-64-1] (Br2CHCOOH), mol wt 217.8, C2H2Br202, mp 48°C, bp 232—234°C (decomposition), is soluble in water and ethyl alcohol. It is prepared by adding bromine to boiling acetic acid, or by oxidi2ing tribromoethene [598-16-3] with peracetic acid. 

Tribromoacetic acid [75-96-7] (Br CCOOH), mol wt 296.74, C2HBr302, mp 135°C bp 245°C (decomposition), is soluble in water, ethyl alcohol, and diethyl ether. This acid is relatively unstable to hydrolytic conditions and can be decomposed to bromoform in boiling water. Tribromoacetic acid can be prepared by the oxidation of bromal [115-17-3] or perbromoethene [79-28-7] with fuming nitric acid and by treating an aqueous solution of malonic acid with bromine.

The Brominated Flame Retardants Industry Panel (BFRIP) was formed ia 1985 within the Flame Retardant Chemicals Association (FRCA) to address such concerns about the use of decabromodiphenyl oxide. Siace 1990 the BFRIP has operated as a Chemical Self-Funded Technical Advocacy and Research (CHEMSTAR) panel within the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) (64). As of 1993, members of BFRIP are Ak2o, Amerihaas (Dead Sea Bromine Group), Ethyl Corp., and Great Lakes Chemical. Siace its formation, BFRIP has presented updates to iadustry on a regular basis (65,66), and has pubhshed a summary of the available toxicity information on four of the largest volume brominated flame retardants (67,68) tetrabromo bisphenol A, pentabromodiphenyl oxide, octabromodiphenyl oxide, and decabromodiphenyl oxide. This information supplements that summarized ia Table 11. 

Difluoroacetic acid undergoes reactions typical of a carboxylic acid such as forming an ester when heated with an alcohol and sulfuric acid. Typical esters are methyl difluoroacetate [433-53-4], bp, 85.2°C, and ethyl difluoroacetate [454-31-9], bp, 99.2°C. It can also be photochemicaHy chlorinated to chlorodifluoroacetic acid [76-04-0] or brominated in the presence of iron to bromodifluoroacetic acid [667-27-6] (37,38). 

Membranes and Osmosis. Membranes based on PEI can be used for the dehydration of organic solvents such as 2-propanol, methyl ethyl ketone, and toluene (451), and for concentrating seawater (452—454). On exposure to ultrasound waves, aqueous PEI salt solutions and brominated poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) form stable emulsions from which it is possible to cast membranes in which submicrometer capsules of the salt solution ate embedded (455). The rate of release of the salt solution can be altered by surface—active substances. In membranes, PEI can act as a proton source in the generation of a photocurrent (456). The formation of a PEI coating on ion-exchange membranes modifies the transport properties and results in permanent selectivity of the membrane (457). The electrochemical testing of salts (458) is another possible appHcation of PEI. 

Niobium Pentabromide. Niobium pentabromide is most conveniently prepared by reaction of bromine with niobium metal at ca 500°C. It is a fairly volatile yellow-red compound that is hygroscopic and readily hydrolyzes. It is soluble in water, alcohol, and ethyl bromide. 

Facilities for manufactuting bromine are primarily located near sources of natural brines or bitterns containing usable levels of bromine. In 1990, the United States had seven bromine plants owned by four companies. Six of the plants are in southern Arkansas and are operated by two U.S. producers Great Lakes Chemical Corporation and Ethyl Corporation.

At 225—275°C, bromination of the vapor yields bromochloromethanes CCl Br, CCl2Br2, and CClBr. Chloroform reacts with aluminum bromide to form bromoform, CHBr. Chloroform cannot be direcdy fluorinated with elementary flourine fluoroform, CHF, is produced from chloroform by reaction with hydrogen fluoride in the presence of a metallic fluoride catalyst (8). It is also a coproduct of monochlorodifluoromethane from the HF—CHCl reaction over antimony chlorofluoride. Iodine gives a characteristic purple solution in chloroform but does not react even at the boiling point. Iodoform, CHI, may be produced from chloroform by reaction with ethyl iodide in the presence of aluminum chloride however, this is not the route normally used for its preparation. 

Pyridazines form complexes with iodine, iodine monochloride, bromine, nickel(II) ethyl xanthate, iron carbonyls, iron carbonyl and triphenylphosphine, boron trihalides, silver salts, mercury(I) salts, iridium and ruthenium salts, chromium carbonyl and transition metals, and pentammine complexes of osmium(II) and osmium(III) (79ACS(A)125). Pyridazine N- oxide and its methyl and phenyl substituted derivatives form copper complexes (78TL1979). 

Bromination using NBS has been used to provide acetylpyrazine derivatives from the corresponding ethylpyrazines. Bromination of 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine gives 2-bromoethyl-3-methylpyrazine in quantitative yield this may be oxidized using the sodium salt of 2-nitropropane or with pyridine AT-oxide to yield 2-acetyl-3-methylpyrazine in yields of 66 and 25% respectively (Scheme 14).
