Abstract

A recent communication1 has again emphasized the need to develop efficient methods for the conversion of the generally cheaper, readily available alkyl chlorides into the more reactive, synthetically useful alkyl bromides.2 Classically this transformation has relied on essentially two procedures, viz. , the halogen displacement on alkyl chlorides by various metal bromides,3 and the sacrificial transhalogenation of alkyl chlorides with expendable alkyl ...
