“…The nature of the substituent affected the direction of substitution. Fuentes et al described the reaction of 2-azacyclo[3.2.2]azine with an equimolar amount of NBS in the absence of peroxides, which afforded a monobromo as well as a dibromo derivative. Bromination of the monobromo compound with NBS produced the same dibromo compound.…”

Bromination is one of the most important transformations in organic synthesis and can be carried out using bromine and many other bromo compounds. Use of molecular bromine in organic synthesis is well-known. However, due to the hazardous nature of bromine, enormous growth has been witnessed in the past several decades for the development of solid bromine carriers. This review outlines the use of bromine and different bromo-organic compounds in organic synthesis. The applications of bromine, a total of 107 bromo-organic compounds, 11 other brominating agents, and a few natural bromine sources were incorporated. The scope of these reagents for various organic transformations such as bromination, cohalogenation, oxidation, cyclization, ring-opening reactions, substitution, rearrangement, hydrolysis, catalysis, etc. has been described briefly to highlight important aspects of the bromo-organic compounds in organic synthesis.

In 1925 Fischer, Müller, and Vilsmeier published a paper describing the reaction between phosphoryl chloride and N ‐methylacetanilide, giving a number of products, including the quinolinium salt and another salt. The probable course of the reaction was given in a paper by Vilsmeier and Haack in 1927, and they made the important discovery that the reagent obtained from N ‐methylformanilide and phosphoryl chloride, represented as a salt, would react with N,N ‐dimethylaniline, giving 4‐ N,N ‐dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. No 2‐substituted products were observed in this reaction. Other N,N ‐dialkylaniline derivatives, including 3, N,N ‐trimethylaniline and 1‐ N,N ‐dimethylaminonaphthalene were also successfully used as substrates to prepare aromatic aldehyde derivatives. The gradual development of the reagent for synthesis was accompanied by interest in the nature of the reagent. It was discovered that other acid chlorides (e.g., thionyl chloride, carbonyl chloride, and oxalyl chloride) could be used in the reaction and that substituted amides other than formamides gave ketones, although in generally poorer yields. Thionyl chloride frequently gives sulfur‐containing products. The most commonly used amide is dimethylformamide (DMF) and there is now a consensus that the reagent formed from DMF and most acid chlorides, other than phosphoryl chloride, can be represented by the structure given in the chapter, and this is illustrated for the reaction between DMF and carbonyl chloride. The salt is a stable compound and is often isolated before being reacted with a substrate. It seems likely that the most commonly used reagent, that made from DMF and phosphoryl chloride, is an equilibrium mixture of iminium salts. Recent unpublished spectroscopic studies have indicated that in DMF solution there is an equilibrium mixture of iminium compounds. One of the electrophilic chloroiminium salts then reacts with a substrate in an electrophilic substitution process yielding an iminium salt, which is usually hydrolyzed to the aromatic aldehyde. Vinylogous chloroiminium salts can be prepared from the corresponding vinylogous formamide derivatives and these yield, after hydrolysis, α,β‐unsaturated products. This particular reaction is generally limited to more reactive substrates. The formation of carbon–carbon bonds to fully conjugated carbocycles and heterocycles is the subject of this chapter; a subsequent chapter considers carbon–carbon bond‐formation reactions in alkenes (including heterosubstituted alkenes such as enamines and enol ethers), alkynes, and activated methyl and methylene compounds (aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acid derivatives, and nitriles). It is not surprising that the Vilsmeier reaction has been the subject of many review articles of varying scope and length. With so many excellent reviews dealing with the Vilsmeier reaction, its mechanism, and the structure of the various electrophilic reagents, coverage is restricted to important concepts rather than reiterate all the literature material. A brief description of the mechanism and regiochemistry of the Vilsmeier reaction is presented and this is elaborated with appropriate cases that deal with specific compound types.
