%0 Journal Article %T Synthesis of cetylpyridiniumtribromide (CetPyTB) reagent by noble synthetic route and bromination of organic compounds using CetPyTB %A Sushil Kumar Sharma %A D. D Agarwal %J Chemistry Internatioanl %P 164-173 %D 2015 %X Cetylpyridiniumtribromide (CetPyTB) has been produced by a noble synthetic path protocol and its reactivity studied. Result indicates that the reagent shows good capability as a brominating agent for carbon/electron-rich heterocyclic aromatic compounds in addition to an efficient catalyst for acetylation of the alcohols, therefore proving it to be a note-worthy addition to the current organic tribromide reagents. %K Halogenation %K Bromination %K Cetylpyridinium tribromide %K Brominated compounds %U http://bosaljournals.com/chemint/images/pdffiles/16.pdf
