A New Synthesis and Application of N, N'-Dibromo-N, N' -1,2-Ethylene bis(2,5-Dimethyl Benzene Sulfonamide); As a Novel Selective Bromination Agent for Aromatic Compounds

Abstract

Reaction Between Novel Compound; N, N′ dibromo-N, N′ -1,2- ethylene bis(2,5- dimethyl benzene sulfonamide) and aromatic compounds in the carbontetrachloride produces bromo aromatic compounds. In the case of benzene rings that contain mono activated substituted, only para - bromo isomer was formed. At the presence of benzoyl peroxide in the reaction mixture α - Hydrogen from alkyl side chain was substituted with bromine.
