Abstract
Abstract Oxybromination reaction of styrene was performed in a two-phase system of water/ionic liquids (ILs). The aim of the work was to make the mild and efficient two-phase system previously developed for the vanadium(V)-catalyzed oxybromination of alkenes, inspired by the activity of haloperoxidase enzymes, even more interesting from a sustainable point of view. As in that case, a brominating intermediate was formed from the metal catalyst, H2O2, and bromide ion in the acid aqueous phase, but chlorinated solvents were replaced with ILs. [bmim+][PF6 -], [bm2im+][PF6 -], [bmim+][BF4 -], [bmim+][CF3SO3 -], and [bmim+][(CF3SO2)2N-] were tested. We report on interesting results in terms of reaction rates and selectivities.
