| Pyridinium tribromide Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | red crystals | Uses | Pyridinium Tribromide is a reagent used in the α-thiocyanation of ketones and has also been applied to the synthesis of β-adrenergic blocking agents (also known as β-blockers) for patients with heart
failure. | Uses | In small-scale brominations, where it is much more convenient and agreeable to measure and use than elemental bromine. | Uses | Pyridine hydrobromide perbromide is used as a brominating reagent in alfa-bromination and alfa-thiocyanation of ketones, phenols, unsaturated and aromatic ethers. It is used as a raw material in the preparation of beta-adrenergic blocking agents. Furthermore, it is used as an analytical reagent. | Purification Methods | It is a very good brominating agent-liberating one mol of Br2. Purify it by recrystallisation from glacial acetic acid (33g from 100mL of AcOH) to give orange-red crystals.
