red crystals | [Uses]
In small-scale brominations, where it is much more convenient and agreeable to measure and use than elemental bromine. | [Uses]
Pyridinium Tribromide is a reagent used in the α-thiocyanation of ketones and has also been applied to the synthesis of β-adrenergic blocking agents (also known as β-blockers) for patients with heart
failure. | [Purification Methods]
It is a very good brominating agent-liberating one mol of Br2. Purify it by recrystallisation from glacial acetic acid (33g from 100mL of AcOH) to give orange-red crystals.
