The Synthesis and Applications of Dibromoisocyanuric Acid (DBI) in Chemical Reactions

Abstract

Halogenated organic substrats are extremely important in chemistry due to their roles in organic synthesis as starting compounds. Bromination is one of the most important transformations in organic synthesis and can be carried out using molecular bromine or bromine carrying agents. Dibromoisocyanuric acid (DBI) is one of the bromine carrying agents that plays important roles in synthetic chemistry as an brominating agents and can bring about oxidations in organic molecules. In this minirewiev the synthetic methods of dibromoisocyanuric acid (DBI) and its roles in synthetic organic chemistry reported.
