General description

Hydrobromic acid is the strongest mineral acid that is used as a brominating agent in the preparation of organobromine compounds and inorganic bromides. It is also used as a catalyst in a variety of organic reactions.

Application

Hydrobromic acid can be used as:      
  • A catalyst in transesterification reactions.      
  • A reagent to synthesize cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) via acidic hydrolysis of cotton fibers.     
  • A reactant to prepare denitrosation reagent.
