Application

  • AlBr(3)-Promoted stereoselective anti-hydroarylation of the acetylene bond in 3-arylpropynenitriles by electron-rich arenes: synthesis of 3,3-diarylpropenenitriles.: This study demonstrates the effective use of Aluminum bromide in the stereoselective anti-hydroarylation of acetylene bonds, highlighting its utility in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, crucial for pharmaceutical and material science applications (Gorbunova et al., 2021).
  • Condensation of 2-naphthol and naphthalenediols with o-dichlorobenzene in the presence of aluminum halides.: Demonstrates the use of Aluminum bromide in facilitating condensation reactions, critical for the synthesis of high-value organic compounds used in dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals (Koltunov et al., 2012).
