Abstract
The reaction of substituted benzaldehydes with tribromoisocyanuric acid and triphenylphosphine led to the corresponding benzylidene dibromides (95-99%). Similar reaction using trichloroisocyanuric acid produced benzylidene dichlorides (38-96%).
Keywords: Carbonyl compounds, gem-dibromides, gem-dichlorides, halogenation, substituted benzaldehydes, triphenylphosphine.
