Reductive debromination of 1-methyl-2,4,5-tribromoimidazole mediated by dry tetramethylammonium fluoride in aprotic solvents

Reductive debromination of 1-methyl-2,4,5-tribromoimidazole mediated by dry tetramethylammonium fluoride in aprotic solvents

The reaction of dry tetramethylammonium fluoride (TMAF) with 1-methyl-2,4,5-tribromoimidazole in different polar aprotic solvents was investigated. Products of reductive debromination were obtained rather than fluorine substitution, indicating that TMAF is strongly basic in such conditions. A reacti...
