X-ray absorption spectra of a number of organic iodine and bromine compounds of biological relevance, as well as of a series of iodine compounds with different oxidation states, have been measured. The iodine K-edge spectra (XANES) are found to be relatively featureless but the position of the edge is found to be sensitive to formal valence (among other factors), and the edge shape to the numbe...

Introduction. Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are chemicals that are added to polymers that are used in plastics, rubber, textiles and other materials to prevent fires. Similarly to other organic pollutants, BFRs have persistence and bioaccumulation potential in organisms. Recently, BFRs have become of increasing concern in environmental samples, due to the increase of the concentration of B...

In an environmentally benign solventless system, alcohols are rapidly oxidized to carbonyl compounds using hexamethylenetetramine-bromine on wet alumina under microwave irradiation.

hexamethylenetetramine-bromine on wet alumina rapidly regenerates carbonyl compounds from their corresponding semicarbazone using microwave under solventless system.

A facile, efficient, simple, environmentally safe, regioselective, controllable and economical method for the oxybromination of aromatic compounds using NH4Br-Br2 system. The electrophilic substitution of bromine generated in situ from NH4Br as a bromine source and molecular bromine as an oxidant.

THE NEW TYPE OF THE CHEMICAL CASCADE REACTION WAS FOUND formation of cyclopropanes from carbonyl compounds and CH acid by the only bromine direct action. The action of aqueous bromine on the carbonyl compounds and malononitrile in EtOH-H2O solutions in the presence of NaOAc results in the formation of 3-substituted 1,1,2,2-tetracyanocyclopropanes in 48-93% yields. The latter are well-known prec...

Our experience with infrequent and unfamiliar types of injury caused by various compounds of bromine are described and discussed. While bromine containing compounds share some of the characteristics of other common causes of chemical burns, they also have a specific, exclusive mode of affecting the skin. The delay in the appearance of clinical signs and symptoms is an important factor to be con...
