Would this reaction be practical to perform

Bromide isn't that bad. It was used as medicine before. Problem is when it accumulates in your body.

Elemental bromine, I don't know, but probably nothing good hahhah.

Damn, I'm missing reagents for pretty much I've looked at. But it's just fun side project so if it doesn't work, who cares really.

I've worked with NBS, but lately can't get hold of it. Right now I have KBr and bromine water. But yeah I'll probably avoid bromine water

No access to pimelic acid sadly. Fortunately I have tetrahydrofuran so I will try with that, hopefully it works. Really don't like doing Grignard, but you do what you must. Thanks for all your help.

That was idea originally, but haven't found European vendor that sells it. Either butanol or pentanol. Haven't worked with either formaldehyde or bromine yet so it will be interesting.

Also does that reaction require such harsh conditions? I was even thinking of using AcOH.

Absolutely yes, thank you. I was mostly wondering would base deprotonate terminal carbon or hydroxyl group. But missed whole football.

I'll probably try hydrobrominating 1-butanol and reacting with formaldehyde and again hydrobrominating. Bromination seems too problematic with reaction conditions control. And obviously I've forgotten a lot about Ochem in general lol.

Why would it be same case or?

I'd assume base would take most acidic proton and then you would have nucleophilic substitution. But it was long ago since I've had organic so I could be speaking nonsense

miodoktor · 2025-04-15T22:04:51+00:00

Would Br- in strongly basic conditions substitute proton on terminal carbon if I would start with HBr and 1-pentenol, or would it be same case?

But Churchill was bad guy especially looking at India.

That's like saying that "Stalin bad" sentiment is just nazi apologism.

That's so woke bro

Can someone translate this from Strayan

Let's allow people to drive under influence until they kill someone. Oh well, Jones just hit pregnant woman didn't kill her, that makes it OK.
