Abstract

An overview of the use of Zinc bromide (ZnBr2) in organic synthesis and other applications is presented. Some details on the structure of the inorganic material and its ligated adducts is also detailed. This aspect is presented in a context that attempts to relate the observed coordination chemistry with the activity of the title compound in Lewis acidmediated processes.

Keywords: Zinc (II) bromide, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Lewis acid reactions, Diels-Alder reaction, phosphonium, Bohlmann-Rahtz heteroannulation reaction
