Economical and Simple Preparation of Oleyl Bromide from Commercially Available Olive Oil
Journal Title: Chemical Science International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of this work was to get access to a cheap and easy to scale source of oleyl bromide. Starting from commercial olive oil, and using economical reagents and conditions, the conversion was achieved in 5 steps (saponification, distillation, esterification, reduction and bromination), with a good overall yield (30%), providing a good quality final product, which showed a purity of at least 95%, by NMR.
