Application

Bromine can be used as an oxidizing agent for the oxidation of:Primary alcohols to either aldehydes or esters and secondary alcohols to give ketones. Alcohols or diols to tetrahydrofurans in the presence of silver(I) salts. Enediol bis-trimethylsilyl ethers to α-diketones. Aldehydes to esters in the presence of alcohol solvents and sodium bicarbonate buffer. Aliphatic and aromatic thiols to disulfides. Bromine can also be used along with other co-reactants such as hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) and bis(tributyltin) oxide (HBD) to selectively oxidize secondary alcohols. However, bromine/nickel carboxylates convert 1,4-diols to γ-butyrolactones by selective oxidation of the primary alcohols.
