Abstract
We investigate the kinetics of bromination of malonic acid, bromomalonic acid, tartronic acid, and ethanetetracarboxylic acid in 1 M sulfuric acid with bromine and hypobromous acid as brominating agents. In all cases the reaction occurs via the enol form of the acid, and the reaction products are brominated species. The possibility of bromide production in the reaction of malonic acid or bromomalonic acid with hypobromous acid can be ruled out. These results are important for the negative feedback loop in the Belousov−Zhabotinsky reaction.
