General description

2-Bromotoluene is an an electron rich heteroaryl bromide. Heck reactions of 2-bromo toluene with cycloalkene (cyclododecene) and linear alkenes (dec-1-ene, allylbenzene) catalyzed by tedicyp (cis,cis,cis -1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane)-palladium complex has been studied. Vibrational spectral analysis of 2-bromobenzene by Raman and infrared spectroscopy at 50-4000cm-1 has been investigated. Suzuki cross-coupling of 2-bromobenzene with benzeneboronic acid catalyzed by the Tedicyp-palladium complex has been studied. Suzuki coupling of 2-bromotoluene with phenylboronic acid using palladium nanoparticles supported on alumina-based oxides as catalyst has been reported.

Application

2-Bromotoluene was used in the synthesis of (±)-isocomene.
