Literature References
Precursor of dichlorocarbene, which adds to double bonds under phase-transfer conditions to give cyclopropanes: Liebigs Ann. Chem., 297 (1990). Bromine radical source. For use in the bromination of benzylic positions under sunlamp irradiation, see: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 82, 391 (1960); Synth. Commun., 6, 109 (1976). Reacts with Hexamethylphosphorous triamide, A12571, to give the dichloromethylenephosphorane, which undergoes Wittig reaction with aldehydes to give 1,1-dichloroalkenes, giving better results than the CCl4/Ph3P combination: Tetrahedron Lett., 1237, 1239 (1977); Synthesis, 554 (1980).
Applications
Used in the bromination of benzylic positions under sunlamp irradiation. Employed as chain transfer agent for radical polymerization of methacrylates. It can also be employed as brominating reagent of active hydrogen compounds.
