2009), pentylpridinium tribromide (PPTB) (Chinnagolla et al.,

2013), ethylene bis(N-methylimidazolium) ditribromide (Ceska, 1975), [BMPy]Br3 also can be used for the bromination of many aromatic Compounds (Chiappe et al., 2004).

On the other hand, these brominating agents are loaded with several disadvantages including their low atom economy, removal of toxic and harsh hydrogen bromide byproducts waste, poor reprocessing of used up reagent, and the Br2 required for their synthesis. Hence, to remove a two-stage bromination wherein these reagents are first prepared using Br2 prior to bromination of organic compounds, we have efficiently used molecular bromine at the first accompanied by an eco-friendly reagent AlBr3 for a quick and simplistic bromination of industrially important compounds. Because of the above reasons, molecular bromine is still a aim alternative for industrial professionals to develop an eco-friendly haloginating agent has numerous advantages: cost economical, low poisonousness to humans, easy availability, fast bromination under normal environmental conditions, rejuvenation and recyclability of reagent up to four cycles by an inherent reprocessing of hydrogen bromide to AlBr3, and the exceptionally simple and clean examination of products that suggest an significant goal in the context of ― green synthesis.

We report how an aqueous AlBr3-Br2 system without any additional catalyst and oxidant is an effective and greener technique for bromination of commercially important aromatics under mild and HBr waste-free conditions. A sequence of industrially-important substituted phenols, anilines, aldehydes, and anilides etc, were imperiled to bromination (Scheme 1). Aromatic primary, secondary and tertiary amines were also noticed and show a outstanding reactivity, which actually get oxidized under ordinary bromination surroundings instead of undergoing

substitution. The direct bromination of anilines and phenols with molecular bromine in solution frequently results in polybromination, and when brominated in the existence of oxidants, they also get oxidized rather than experiencing substitutions and, in some cases, require fortification of the amino (-NH2) group. Though bromination of aromatic compounds by elemental bromine is a eminent organic reaction, bromination using elemental bromine frequently results in a complex mixture of mono-, di-, tri-; and even tetra-brominated products. Henceforth to date, there has been no simple, economical, instant, easily available, and high yield method established that can be commercialized for the said purpose.

A diversity of new bromination techniques have been employed along with the predictable reagent―bromine to increase the effectiveness and choosiness. Still, the use of poisonous and expensive reagents, catalysts, volatile organic solvents, low yields and discharge of corroding HBr waste circumvent these processes from industrial application. Oxybromination can be a good substitute. Nonetheless these reactions needs a great additional of the reagents, highly acidic conditions, costly metal or other catalysts and harmful oxidants which is highly expensive and release noxious waste to the environment.

Substitute equivalent of bromine, such as organic ammonium tribromides and various tribromide-ionic liquids likewise are being used for the bromination of aromatic compounds. Nonetheless, these agents are loaded with many disadvantages including their low atom energy, disposal of poisonous and harsh hydrogen-bromide byproducts waste, non-effective recycling of consumed reagents, and the Br2 required for their preparation.

Henceforward to exclude a bi-step bromination wherein these reagents are first prepared using molecular Br2 earlier to halogenation of organic compounds, one must have efficiently consumed Br2 at the first place with an eco- friendly reagent AlBr3 is a prompt and facile brominating reagent for industrial Purposes. Due to these reasons, molecular Br2 is still a target substitute for industrial processes to progress an eco- friendly brominating system which works under favourable conditions. Taking these points in to consideration, we find an aqueous AlBr3-Br2 system to be a better substitute.

Distinctive method for the bromination and synthesization of 2,6-dibromo-4- nitroaniline (II)

To a solution of AlBr3 (3.99 g) in water (5 mL) was added bromine (3.2 g, 20 mmol), and the resultant mixture was stirred at 25°C to form a dark reddish-brown clear solution. this solution was added quickly to a stirred mixture of 4-nitroaniline (1.3813 g, 10 mmol) in ACN (10 mL) taken in a 100 mL round bottom flask by using a pressure-equalizing funnel within 2 to 3 minutes. The color disappeared at once and thick yellowish precipitate of 2,6-dibromo-4-niroaniline were achieved within 5 min (recorded by TCL) of reaction time at 25°C. The reaction was appeased by adding water (15 mL) to separate the precipitated product. The precipitated reaction mass was parted by vacuum filtration utilizing a Buchner funnel, then washed twice with de-ionized water and dried in oven at 100°C to get a yellow powdered of 2,6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline. The total isolated yield was 2.9033 g (98.50 per cent) with an HPCL purity of 99.54 percent. The filtrate was rescued for the next run of process.

Method for regenerating and reprocessing of AlBr3 (Recycle 1) The aq AlBr3-Br2 solution was added promptly within 3 to 4 min to the stirred solution of 4-nitroaniline by using a pressure equalizing funnel. Instantaneously following addition, the bromine color disappeared and yellowish dense precipitates of 2,6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline were achieved within 10 min of reaction time at 25°C. The precipitated 2,6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline was separated from the mother liquor by vacuum filtration and then washed twice with deionized water and dried in oven at 100°C. The 2,6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline was obtained in 2.9006 g (98.02per cent) yield with mp of 206°C and pureness of 99.42per cent. The characteristics data documented for the isolated product were found to be same as given in the above general method. The HBr evolved was again nullified; a solvent was distilled-off, and the aqueous layer was reused in the next run with a surplus amount of Br2. Procedure for recycle 2, 3 and 4 Alike to the above procedure of Reprocess 1, bromine (3.2 g, 20 mmol) was added to the aqueous layer achieved after the separation of 2,6- dibromo-4-nitroaniline and the reaction progressed in a similar fashion with 4- nitoaniline (1.3813 g, 10 mmol) in every cycle.

solution was documented by Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, taking the above solution in a cuvette using a micropipette to get more accuracy in sampling. When recorded higher than expectable absorption resulted between the range of 200-400 nm wavelength, the solution was thrown out and a appropriate diluted aliquot of aqueous AlBr3-Br2 solution was taken into the cuvette using micropipette, and a graph was documented that gave an strong peak band of Br3- at 266 nm wavelength. A Part of 2 × 10-4

M solution of acetanilide (CH3CONHC6H5) dissolved in Acetonitrile (MeCN) formerly dispensed to cuvette which was already half-filled with aqueous solution of AlBr3-Br2. The absorption peak at 252 nm was achieved and documented that relates to p- bromoacetanilide. Alike procedure was carried out to analyze the bromination of salicyclic acid (C7H6O3) in Actonitrile (MeCN) solution. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Aqueous AlBr3-Br2 reagent system is a mild, efficient, and cost effective brominating reagent which is readily prepared by addition of molecular Br2 to an aq. solution of

Aliminium tribromide at room temperature condition (25±10C). This reagent was quickly added to a stirred solution of 10 millimole of substrate liquefied in 10 mL of solvent (Table 2). By this system, a maximum quality of halogenated products was shaped within few minutes of time. Once the reaction was finished, the reaction mix was appeased into H2O and solid halogenated yields was washed-off, splashed with water, and dried. The finish product doesn’t require extra purification. The finish products were acknowledged by different identification techniques and tools like: melting point, mass spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy; the yields were calcuted by the gravimetrically. The same system has been applied effectively to a diversity of commercially-important substrates (Table 2). Furthermore, the regioselectively of Chemical reactions is in settlement with the known leading capability of the substituent functional groups. The p-substitution product was the only isomer isolated where both ο-position. Overview of an electron-withdrawing group to the aromatic ring significantly diminished the rate of ring bromination. Primarily, the dibromination of 4-nitroaniline 11 as a perfect compound using 2 equivalents of aqueous AlBr3-Br2 combination in various solvents was studied. The solvents such as acetonitrile (ACN), methanol, acetic acid, and dichloromethane were strained. It was observed that ACN solvent has demonstrated to be outstanding in the process of dibromination of 4-nitroaniline to get 2, 6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline within 10 miniutes regarding yield (98.05per cent), melting point (206

0C), yellow color in crystalline powder form, and texture of the product. Subsequent, the effect of Br2 and AlBr3 concentration on the yield and melting point of 11 were inspected in acetonitrile solvent. It is understandable from Fig. 1 that

the product quality is intensely dependent on the mole ratio of Br2/4-NA. It was found that the optimum yield of

finished DBNA and the preferred Mp of 206 0C (Sharma and Agarwal, 2014) (206-208

0C) were achieved at the mole ratio of Br2/4-NA =2/1 in the bromination process of 4-NA by an aqueous AlBr3-Br2 system that was used as brominating agent. The yield of the product becomes stable if further the mole ratio decreased from Br2/4-NA from 2 to 1.2. The yield of the products was further decresed to 93per cent with the Mp of 198-200 0C which was not within the obligatory standards when we declined the mole ratio of Br2/4-NA = 2 to 1.8. Similarly an under-brominated product (88 percent) was obtained that melts within 160 - 170 0C when the mole ratio was decreased from 1.8 to 1.65. It was observed that monobrominated 4-nitroanilines were obtained at the mole ratio of Br2/4-NA = 1.5 and 1.25, which melt at 102

0C and 100-101 0C, correspondingly (melting point of 2-bromo-4-nitroaniline is 104 0C) (Sharma and Agarwal, 2014).

Brominating agent (AlBr3-Br2); the optimum yield and desired melting points were obtained at mole ratio of AlBr3:4-NA = 2:1. The yield of the product i nc rea sed from 91 to 98 per cent when we upsurge the mole ratio of AlBr3/4-NA from 0.25 to 2.0, however the melting point does not change. The function of AlBr3 catalyst was confirmed by proceeding a reaction for 1 hr at 25 0C using a brominating agent ie. molecular Br2 where a complex mixture of under- brominated 4-nitroaniline was achieved that melts within the range of 160 to 190 0C. Therefore, from these findings, it is concluded that the optimum mole ratio of 4-nitroaniline to AlBr3 to Br2 was found to be 1:2:2 that is perfect for the di-bromination of 11. It was observed that the Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy analysis of end product achieved at the mole ratio of 1:2:2 shows 99 percent pure 2,6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline, 1 percent monobrominated 4-nitroaniline, and 0.06 per cent starting material (Table 3, entry 4).

The bromination of acetanilide (1a) and benzanilide (1b), under these conditions, took place selectively and only p-brominated products with no detectable o-bromo or dibromocompounds were inaccessible in excellent yields. Aniline 1e and phenol 1d were tribrominated to their consistent bromo-derivations in outstanding yields (97 per cent with 1:3:3 molar ratio of substrate:AlBr3:Br2). In case if both meta- and o.p-directing functional groups are present on the hetrocyclic aromatic ring, only the o.p-directing group will directs the incoming bromination ion as perceived in case of o-nitrophenol 1e. Anilines comprising an electron-withdrawing group can also brominate using brominating system at ambient temperature. An aquous solution of AlBr3/Br2 can be

effectively used for the bromination of several deactivated anilines 1g-11 proficiently and promptly upon admixing these with it, which is somewhat tedious by other methodologies (Das et al., 2007).

It was observed that oxine (1m) and sulphanilamide (1n) could also be successfully brominated using 5,7-dibromo-oxine and 3,5-dibromosulphanilamide of pharmaceutically importance, in yield of 95 and 93 per cent, correspondingly, within 15 minutes of the reactions time.

It was also found that substrates 1p and 1q showed good reactivity that results in a clean synthesis of 2,4-dibromo-1-naphthol (97 per cent) and 3,5-dibromosalicylic acid (91per cent) after 15 and 20 minutes, respectively. Similarly, the aldehydes (1o and 1r) were also efficiently brominated in outstanding yield (97 and 94 per cent) with the use of 2 counterparts of aquous AlBr3-Br2 solution. Bromination of β-Naphthol (1s) under identical reactions resulted in excellent yield (97 percent) within 5 minutes, while for 1t, two equivalents of aqueous AlBr3-Br2 and 30

minutes of reaction time were essentially required. Similarly 5-bromovanillin 1u, an industrially-important compound, was also obtained from vanillin in good yield within 30 minutes. This substrate undergoes bromination f o r a longer p e r i o d o f time and resulted in low yields (Deshmukh et al., 1998).

The selective contact herbicide bromoxynil 1v was also achieved in 98 per cent yield in 15 minutes of reaction time. Table 3 shows the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) purity of few representatives

brominated products that determined that the high yields of mono-, di-, and tribrominated products can be regioselectively achieved by simply incresesing the molar equivalents of substrate/AlBr3/Br2, in the ratio of 1/3/3 for mono-, 1/2/2 for di- and 1/3/3 for tribromination of aromatic compounds. By implementing an eco-friendly workup procedure, further we have modified our green approach to bromination. The reaction supported a simple isolation procedure composed of filtration of solid brominated products due to absence of organic waste and chlorinated organic solvent. This process generates an added amount of Aluminium tribromide in the filtrate. The solvent obtained in filtrate was distilled-off and reclaimed in the next run of process. From the filtrate the solvent was distilled out and can be used in the subsequent brominations. In this way, 7 mol of AlBr3 was isolated in the end after four runs, starting with 2 mol of Aluminium tribromide wrt 1 mol of 4-NA in the fresh batch. By this the problem of conventional methods associated with discharge of Hydrogen bromide byproducts waste was successfully elliminated which otherwise is very toxic, corrosive, and cause great pollution in the environment. As far the mechanism of bromintion using bromine is concerned, probable brominating classes which can be made in aq. bromine solutions are HOBr, BrO-, Br3-

correspondingly. The UV-vis spectral characteristics are

reported in Table 2 for numerous brominating species. The UV-vis studies were carried out to identify the dynamic brominating species. Equimolar solution of 1 molar equivalent aluminium tribromide and 1 molar equivalent Br2 was prepared. The UV-vis spectrum for this was recorded that gives a powerful band at 266 nm wavelength. In agreement with available studies, the band that appears at 266 nm wavelength can be attributed due to the formation of a charge-transfer complex between Br2 and aluminium tribromide. It is possible that 266 nm wavelength band was mainly due to tribromide ion ( Br3) that absorbs in the same region and which could

arise as depicted thruough the formation of a 1/1 AlBr3-Br2 complex. Water that is used for the preparation of aqueous AlBr3-Br2 solution also support the formation of tribromide through the well-defined H2O-Br2 reaction discharging bromide ion and as found in UV- vis study. When equimolar amounts of Br2 and AlBr3 were employed, the

formation of tribromide is considerable and no formation of pentabromide ion (Br5-) was discovered such concentrations of Br2 as it required a higher amount of

Br2 as it required a higher amount of Br2 in solution. This was also confirmed by UV-vis spectrum of aqueous bromine solution (with added bromide) that does not show any absorption of Br5- ion (λmax = 315 nm). The acetanilide

solution w a s dissolved in Acetonitrile (ACN) then added to aqueous AlBr3-Br2 solution and UV-vis spectrum was documented. The prompt desertion of Br3- peak shows that bromine molecule (Br2) has been polarized and dissociated in presence of added metal bromide and the produced Brominium ion (Br+)

has been relocated to the acetanilide. This was confirmed by the presence of a peak (λmax =

252 nm), which resembles to p-bromoacetanilide. This shows that Br3- is the active brominating class involved in the reaction that generates the eletrophile Br+

and ruled

out the formation of HOBr and BrO- species as no characteristics absorption bands of these species were witnessed before and after the reaction. Such species are somewhat formed under the condition of oxidative bromination defined elsewhere. Bellucci et al. have suggested a mechanism for the addition of Br2 to olefins using tetrabutylammonium tribromide as a brominating agent. This mechanism clarifies the catalytic effect of added bromide salts by the fact that they are involved in the rate-datermining step. Considering the UV-vis results of the present study and also considering the result pattern of Bellucci et al., it can be projected that the binding of AlBr3 to Br2 molecule involves the breakage of a Br-Br bond to give a bromonium- tribromide (Br3-) intermediate ion pair. In this reaction, the added AlBr3 acts as a catalyst that instantaneously polarized the Br2 molecule and produces bromonium ion (Br3-). A transition state reflects brominium ion mechanism which shows the nucleophilic attack at the bromine by the electron-rich Π-system of activated ring was suggested. This reports a relocation of

Brominium ion (Br+)

to the substrate from a tribromide ion-pair intermediate Al[Br+Br-(Brδ+---Brδ-)] and ring-bromination occurs by brominium ion, Br+-relocation mechanism. The ―salting out effect of ions over bromine (Br2), effects in the establishment of ion-dipole complex increases the activity-factor of Br2 in solutions of metal halides. At the end, transition state breakup to give brominated end product and hydrogen bromide (HBr) as reaction byproduct. CONCLUSIONS A new, cost effective, efficient, and simple bromination protocol is determined and disclosed for mono-, di-, and tribromination. The features of this –green process includes the use of cost efficient aqueous AlBr3-Br2 solution as a effective brominating agent which can be invigorated simply even at commercial level applications. This method is free from strong acids, organic solvent and HBr- byproducts waste during the reactions, which are very common in old and existing protocol, which makes this protocol eco-friendly because of zero effluent discharge to the environment, consequently, a good choice to existing bromination methods.
