Greener bromination of alkenes using sodium bromide and sodium perborate
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This experiment uses sodium bromide and sodium perborate to generate bromine for the electrophilic bromination of either stilbene or chalcone. Students will then use melting point to determine the stereochemistry of their reaction. They will also use green chemistry metrics to compare the greenness of the procedure.
