outdoor-man Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 could you tell me how to bubble bromine gas into the rection solution with liquid bromine or something else. during the course, what should i be aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Is this homework help? Why is it in organic chemistry? Bromine is inorganic, although it is quite frequently used in organic chemistry. Also, bromine is toxic and not fun to breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoor-man Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 thanks for your reply and tips. it is not homework.i just want to know the way to synthesize a series of compounds. it was my first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Well, I think you'd have more luck with liquid bromine than gas, since it should be easier to dissolve and less likely to escape. I'd do the reaction outside (with a fan if it's not breezy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UC Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 You'd be better off with a solution of bromine in a pressure equalizing dropping funnel. Appropriate solvents would be glacial acetic acid, chloroform, or dichloromethane, depending on the reaction solvent. You can always add it straight in under strong stirring, but you'll need better control over the flow rate than for solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDNA Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 could you tell me how to bubble bromine gas into the rection solution with liquid bromine or something else. during the course, what should i be aware of? You should be aware of the fact that bromine gas will kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
