General description
LiBr/Chlorotrimethylsilane reagent participates in the conversion of alcohols to bromides.
Application
Lithium bromide (LiBr) may be employed as a catalyst in the following studies:
- Transformation of (aromatic- and α,β-unsaturated) aldehydes to dithioacetals via solvent-free dithioacetalization.
- Synthesis of olefins via condensation reaction of carbonyl compounds with active methylene compounds.
- Green synthesis of β-amino alcohols.
- Chemo- and regioselective bromination of aromatic compounds was carried out by employing LiBr/ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) reagent system (as a source of Br+ ion).

[reaction: see text] The alkanesulfonamide "safety-catch" resin has proven useful for Fmoc-based synthesis of C-terminal peptide thioesters. We now report that the yield of isolated thioester can increase significantly when the cleavage reaction is carried out in 2 M LiBr/THF
