A Photoirradiative Phase-Vanishing Method: Efficient Generation of HBr from Alkanes and Molecular Bromine and Its Use for Subsequent Radical Addition to Terminal …
Abstract A triphasic phase-vanishing (PV) system comprised of an alkane, perfluorohexanes, and bromine was successfully combined by photoirradiation to efficiently generate hydrogen bromide, which underwent radical addition with 1-alkenes in the hydrocarbon layer to afford terminal bromides in high yields.
