Application

Allyl bromide can be used:
  • For the synthesis of stereodefined allylated arenes via Suzuki-type coupling reaction.
  • In Barbier-type allylation reactions of aldehydes and ketones.{17]
  • To synthesize a monomer, 1-1-(allyloxy)-4-nitrobenzene while synthesizing nanostructured molecularly imprinted polymer for selective tryptophan assay in biological and pharmaceutical samples.

A methylene-interrupted C18 keto-acetylenic fatty ester (methyl 12-oxo-9-octadecynoate) was obtained from methyl ricinoleate by bromination-dehydrobromination followed by oxidation. Reaction of methyl 12-oxo-9-octadecynoate with bis(benzonitrile) palladium(II) chloride, allyl bromide, or methyl-allyl bromide furnished methyl 8-[5-hexyl-3-allyl-furan-2-yl]-octanoate (1, 56%) or methyl 8-15-hexyl-3-(2-methyl-allyl)-furan-2-yl]-octanoate (2
