Description

a,a,a',a'-Tetramethyl-5-methyl-1,3-benzenediacetonitrile (TMBD) is an alkylating agent that is used in organic synthesis as a brominating agent. TMBD is used to produce alpha-bromo esters and alpha-bromo amides from carboxylic acids or alcohols. It has been shown to be a transfer catalyst and reflux temperature for the reaction mass. TMBD has been shown to be a good catalyst for the phase transfer reaction of bromine with water and other solvents.
