The chemistry of hypervalent halogen species has made enormous progress over the last few decades, and hypervalent iodine(III) compounds have become common reagents in nowadays organic synthesis. The related isoelectronic hypervalent bromine(III) species feature superior reactivity to the I(III) counterparts due to the higher oxidizing ability, stronger electrophilicity and better leaving group ability (nucleofugality) of the bromanyl moiety. However, the hypervalent bromine chemistry appears to be significantly less developed than that of the iodine(III) compounds. This notable imbalance appears to be due to the relatively low stability and high oxidizing power of bromine(III) reagents, resulting in reactivity that is difficult to control. Furthermore, there is a clear shortage of simple method for the synthesis of bromine (III) species, but known methods often require handling of the highly toxic and corrosive BrF3 precursor. In this context, we have proposed the electrochemical generation of chelation-stabilized hypervalent bromine(III) compounds as a possible solution to the above problems. This presentation will give an overview of our current progress in this field.
