General description

3-Bromotoluene is an electron-rich aryl bromide. It participates in the Heck reaction. 3-Bromotoluene undergoes palladium-catalyzed cyanation reaction in the presence of K4[Fe(CN)6] as the cyanide surrogate. It undergoes palladium-catalysed reaction with alkynyltriarylborates to yield trisubstituted alkenylboranes.

Application

3-Bromotoluene was used in the precise determination of bromine isotope ratio in organic compounds by MC-ICPMS ( Multicollector-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer).
