Product Information

• Name: Indium(I) bromide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Indium bromide is a compound that contains a carbonyl group. It is used to form an enolate, which is a reactive intermediate in organic reactions. The reaction mechanism for the formation of the enolate involves nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon by hydroxide ion or water. The nucleophile attacks from the opposite side of the alkene and forms a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group. Hydration of indium bromide produces an indium ring that has two terminal alkynes. The stereoselective reaction for this process is entrainment, which means that both products are formed in equal amounts but only one product can be isolated due to its higher boiling point.
