Beilstein J Org Chem. 2011:7:1648-55. doi: 10.3762/bjoc.7.194. Epub 2011 Dec 8.

Abstract

Herein we describe the application of a monolithic triphenylphosphine reagent to the Appel reaction in flow-chemistry processing, to generate various brominated products with high purity and in excellent yields, and with no requirement for further off-line purification.

Keywords: Appel reaction; bromination; flow chemistry; solid-supported reagent; triphenylphosphine monolith.
