Allylic/Benzylic Bromination With N-Bromo Succinimide (NBS)

[@AdamsAppleseed]

Man, this is amazing timing for my test tomorrow. Thanks as always Dave! You da real MVP helping me through organic chemistry.

[@PunmasterSTP]

I know it's been awhile, but how did your test go?

[@AdamsAppleseed]

​@@PunmasterSTP I survived. Although chemistry isn't my strongpoint, I enjoyed learning from here.

[@PunmasterSTP]

Thank god for this video, we didn't do an example with NBS in class and the homework has about 15 problems with it! I was so confused, this really helped!

Hey professor Dave, just curious did you ever get the master degree that you wanted? Really a huge fan of your channel and videos on organic chem

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Yep, I got the MA in science education in 2018.

@@ProfessorDaveExplains I'm just curious, and please forgive me if you already mentioned this somewhere or it's too personal, but what are you up to outside of KZbin these days?

Not much honestly, this is quite the full time endeavor. But I am working on getting way ahead on the content so that I can return much of my energy towards music this year.

[@Luca-wt4dn]

Why doesn't radical dibromination occurr, giving the same product of a thermal dibromination? If you look at the Bond Dissociation Energies, you have (kcal/mol): C=C pi bond = 65 C-H allylic sigma bond = 85 C-Br sigma bond = 68 C-Br allylic sigma bond = 50 H-Br sigma bond = 88 The mechanism here implies: 1)C-H abstraction by radical Br (-85 + 88 = +3) 2)C-Br allyl sigma bond formation (+50) Total = 50+3 = 53 kcal/mol With a hypothetical radical dibromination you would have: 1) C=C pi bond breaking (-65) 2) 2 C-Br sigma bond formations (+68*2 = +136) Total = -65+136 = 71 kcal/mol The two pathways should at least compete, but why does only allylic bromination happen while radical dibromination doesn't? I guess some kinetic effect plays a role, maybe affecting the pre-exponential term of the arrhenius equation and slowing down the hypotetical radical dibromination

Ah yes, Doug. What's _your_ scientific background? Making false predictions using a bible? Diehold is pathetic. 'Give a competent rebuke' is too much to ask from you.

[@EthnobotanikFAQ]

I‘ve seen NBS used to brominate aromatic compounds with allylic positions on the ring, eg in para substitution to the allylic carbon you had pictured. Is it factors like the reaction solvent that determines its reactivity?

[@Felixkeeg]

NBS functions as a "Br+"-equivalent. Without bromide ions there is no bromine formation and thus no radical reaction. Core bromination is therefore a result of an nucleophilic attack of the aromatic ring on the bromo-cation. You will need a base to deprotonate the resulting sigma complex.

Bullying a modern day Copernicus will be a stain on you one day. Especially when you have to reconcile that you are the scientific equivalent of a flat earther. No need to respond slick, just go do your homework champ. Good talk bud.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Haha, a modern day Copernicus! That's funny, because Pierre isn't an astronomer. Or a scientist of any kind. He's a snake oil salesman. And you fell for it. Do try to avoid commenting on my academic tutorials, as you clearly have no interest in learning science. Ok sport?
