General description

Bromoform (CHBr3), also known as Tribromomethane, is a very short-lived substance (VSLS) and an important precursor of reactive bromine species (BrOx). It is widely used as a laboratory reagent and as an industrial extraction solvent. It can also be used as a sedative and to create block copolymers.

Application

Bromoform (Tribromomethane) was used in the synthesis of α-tribromomethylated N-sulfonylamines.

Mg-mediated addition of bromoform to electron deficient imines such as N-sulfonylimines affords α-tribromomethylated N-sulfonylamines in good to excellent yields. The procedure could be further simplified by transforming the imine precursors, α-sulfonyl-N-tosyl- and Boc-amines, in one pot to the corresponding α-tribromomethyl

Iso-polyhalomethanes are known reactive intermediates that play a pivotal role in the photochemistry of halomethanes in condensed phases. In this work, iso-bromoform (iso-CHBr(3)) and its deuterated isotopomer were characterized by matrix isolation infrared and UV/visible spectroscopy, supported by ab initio

This first study of trihalomethanes (THMs) in swimming pools using bromine agents for water disinfection under real conditions shows that the mixtures of these compounds are largely dominated by bromoform in a similar process as chloroform becomes the dominant THM
