N-Bromosuccinimide or NBS is a chemical reagent used in radical substitution, electrophilic addition, and electrophilic substitution reactions in organic chemistry. NBS can be a convenient source of Br•, the bromine radical. N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) is a cyclic chemical compound with a five-membered ring structure containing two carboxamide groups and a bromine atom attached to nitrogen. Its molecular formula is C4H4BrNO2 with a Molecular weight 177.9g/mol. n.

Other Names Of N BromoSuccinimide
Uses of N BromoSuccinimide (NBS) Reagent
- Allylic Bromination
- NBS is often used in the bromination of allylic places in chemical compounds. It selectively attaches a bromine atom to the allylic carbon, making it an effective reagent in the production of allylic bromides.
- Bromination of Alkenes
- Alkenes may undergo bromination reactions in the presence of NBS. The bromine atom is inserted at the double bond, allowing for selective bromine addition to unsaturated hydrocarbons.
- Modification of Proteins
- NBS has biochemical applications, such as selectively brominating specific amino acid residues in proteins. Tryptophan and histidine are frequently targeted in these protein changes.
- Preparation of Bromohydrins
- NBS is utilized in the production of bromohydrins from alkene. In this reaction, bromine and hydroxyl groups are added to the carbon-carbon double bond.
- α-Bromination of Carbonyl Compounds
- NBS promotes the α-bromination of carbonyl compounds, including ketones and aldehydes. This reaction is essential in the production of brominated organic molecules.
