Benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide in bromination of some semisynthetic and natural phenols
摘要
It was shown that benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide is a convenient reagent for the synthesis of bromo derivatives of 2-isobornylphenols and natural phenolic compounds, viz., thymol and carvacrol. The use of this reagent allows synthesizing mono- and dihalogenated products bearing the substituents at the ortho- and/or para-positions.
