Description

General description

Benzyl bromide is an aromatic halide that is mainly used as a protecting agent for protecting hydroxy group of alcohols via O-benzylation reaction.

Application

Benzyl bromide has been used as an initiator in the synthesis of poly(styrene-b-methylmethacrylate) copolymers by atom transfer radical polymerization. It can undergo Menschutkin reaction with 1, 2-dimethylimidazole to form 3-benzyl-1, 2-dimethylimidazolium bromide.

(±)-Licarin A and its semi-synthetic derivatives: In vitro and in silico evaluation of trypanocidal and schistosomicidal activities.

Vanderlisa Rita Meleti et al.

Acta tropica, 202, 105248-105248 (2019-11-05)

This paper reports the synthesis of (±)-licarin A 1, a dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, resultant of an oxidative coupling reaction of isoeugenol and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme. Following, three semi-synthetic derivatives from this compound were obtained: benzylated (±)-licarin A 2, methylated (±)-licarin

Photoracemization-Based Viedma Ripening of a BINOL Derivative.

Giuseppe Belletti et al.

Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 26(4), 839-844 (2019-10-31)

Viedma ripening is a deracemization process that has been used to deracemize a range of chiral molecules. The method has two major requirements: the compound needs to crystallize as a conglomerate and it needs to be racemizable under the crystallization
