Description

N-Bromosuccinimide is a reactive chemical that is used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations. It reacts with methyl ketones to form bromoketones, which can be detected by the chemiluminescence method. Although there is no direct evidence for the mechanism of this reaction, it is thought that there are two possible pathways. The first pathway involves a series of reactions involving activated methylene compounds and quinoline derivatives, while the second pathway involves transfer reactions from n-dimethyl formamide to lysine residues in proteins. The second pathway has been shown to be dominant in aerobacter aerogenes.
