Copper(I) bromide, 98%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
It finds many applications in organic synthesis, as a catalyst and a reagent. It is used as a catalyst in Sandmeyer reaction for preparing aryl bromides from arylamines through diazonium salts. It forms complexes with Lewis bases, such as dimethylsulfide, which is a precursor to organocopper reagents. Reactions involving Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) and Cu-catalyzed Cross-Dehydrogenative Couplings (CDC) are catalyzed by CuBr complexes.
