The traditional method for 2,6-dibromoaniline synthesis is hydrolysis of 3,5-dibromo-4-aminobenzene sulfonamide produced from 4-aminobenzene sulfonamide and hydrobromic acid.
Symmetrical diynes were synthesized by ligand-free copper-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of 1,1-dibromo-1- alkenes using a DBU/DMSO system at room temperature in good to excellent yields.
