Description

2-Bromo-N,N-dimethylaniline is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of alkylating agents. It is prepared by the reaction of 2-bromoaniline with a Grignard reagent, followed by acidification and removal of the volatile bromide. 2-Bromo-N,N-dimethylaniline has been used in the preparation of ligands for metal complexes and as an acetal protecting group for alcohols and phenols. 2-Bromo-N,N-dimethylaniline has been shown to be a good cross-coupling agent for halides or aromatic heterocycles, which is an important property in organic synthesis. The mechanism involves initial abstraction of hydrogen from the substrate molecule by 2-bromo-N,N-dimethylaniline forming an intermediate cationic species. This intermediate cationic species then reacts with the substrate molecule
