NBS: Bromination & Oxidation Agent

N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is a brominating and oxidizing agent used as a source of bromine in radical reactions like allylic brominations and electrophilic additions. NBS brominates substrates like alcohols and amines, and elimination of HBr in the presence of a base leads to oxidation products without incorporated bromine.

-Bromosuccinimide (NBS)

N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is a brominating and oxidizing agent that is used as source for bromine in
radical reactions (for example: allylic brominations) and various electrophilic additions. The NBS
bromination of substrates such as alcohols and amines, followed by elimination of HBr in the presence of
a base, leads to the products of net oxidation in which no bromine has been incorporated.
