Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the room temperature ionic liquid pentylpyridinium tribromide (2) is described. Tribromide 2 was used as a vapor pressure free bromine analogue for the bromination of ketones, aromatics, alkenes, and alkynes. The brominations were carried out in the absence of organic solvents and in most cases the only extraction solvent needed was water. Selectivities and reactivities were shown to be superior to current protocols. The spent reagent pentylpyridinium bromide (1) was easily recycled.
