Ball-Milling Promoted Monobromination Reactions: One-pot Regioselective Synthesis of Aryl Bromides and α-Bromoketones by NBS and Recyclable MCM-41-SO₃H at Room Temperature

Abstract

An effective approach to monobromination reactions utilizing room temperature ball-milling is introduced for the synthesis of aryl bromides and bromoketones with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and MCM-41-SO₃H. Advantages of this technique are short reaction times and high regioselectivity. In contrast to other techniques using microwaves, ultrasound, or ionic liquids, handling of sensitive materials is possible and furthermore, this method has advantages over other solvent-free techniques that require a higher reaction temperature for high yield of products.

Key words

ball-mill - monobromination - regioselectivity - MCM-41-SO₃H - NBS

• 48 Preparation of MCM-41-SO₃H: Diethylamine (2.7 g) was added to deionized water (42 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 10 min, then cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (1.47 g) was added and the mixture was stirred for 30 min until a clear solution was obtained. To this mixture, tetraethoxysilane (2.1 g) was added dropwise and the pH of the reaction mixture was maintained at 8.5 by adding hydrochloric acid solution (1 M). After 2 h, the solid product was filtered, washed with deionized water, dried at 45 °C for 12 h, and then calcined at 550 °C for 5 h
• 49 Preparation of MCM-41-SO₃H: Dichloromethane (5 mL) containing MCM-41 (1.0 g) was added to a flask equipped with a pressure equilibrating dropping funnel charged with chlorosulfonic acid (2 mL) and equipped with a gas inlet tube. The chlorosulfonic acid was added dropwise over 30 min at room temperature and HCl gas generated was swept from the reaction vessel. The mixture was then stirred for 30 min and the solvent was evaporated to obtain MCM-41-SO₃H
• 50 General bromination experimental procedure: Substrate (1 mmol), NBS (0.1 g) and MCM-41-SO₃H (0.2 g) were added to a ball-mill jar. Reaction was conducted at a rotational frequency of 30 Hz at room temperature and the reaction was followed by TLC. After completion, the mixture was separated and MCM-41-SO₃H was recovered. The recovered MCM-41-SO₃H was reused five more times without any decrease in its catalytic ability
