Phenol and ortho-substituted derivatives furnish products of selective para-bromination, if treated with sodium bromide, hydrogen peroxide, and the vanadate(V)-dependent bromoperoxidase I from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum. Relative rates of bromination in morpholine-4-ethane sulfonic acid (MES)-buffered aqueous tert-butanol (pH 6.2) increase by a factor 32, as the ortho-substituent in a phenol changes from F via Cl, OCH3, C(CH3)(3), and H to CH3. The polar effect in phenol bromination by the enzymatic method, according to a Hammett-correlation (rho=-3), compares to reactivity of molecular bromine under identical conditions (rho=-2). Hypobromous acid is not able to electrophilically substitute bromine for hydrogen at pH 6.2 in aqueous tert-butanol. The tribromide anion behaves in MES-buffered aqueous tert-butanol as electrophile (rho similar to-3), showing a similar polar effect in phenol bromination as molecular bromine. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
