The Mechanism of the Bromination of Alkenes

Key Points

This research aims to explore the mechanism of bromination of alkenes, focusing on bromonium cation intermediates.
Reviewed the historical development of the bromination mechanism.
Characterized bromonium cations using NMR spectroscopy.
Conducted X-ray crystallography to analyze hindered bromonium cations.
Confirmed the formation of bromonium cation intermediates during the reaction.
Detailed independent characterization techniques for evaluating these intermediates.

Abstract

The history of the mechanism of the bromination of alkenes is presented with particular emphasis on the elegant experiments that have confirmed the formation of bromonium cation intermediates on reaction of alkenes with bromine. The independent characterization of bromonium cations using NMR spectroscopy and the ultimate X-ray crystallographic characterization of hindered bromonium cations are highlighted.
