N-Bromosuccinimide

N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is a white to off-white crystalline solid with a faint, chlorinous odor; it has a melting point of approximately 175–180 °C (with decomposition) and is moderately soluble in water and common organic solvents such as acetone, acetonitrile, and dichloromethane. It is classified as an organic brominating reagent and N-haloimide compound. NBS is widely employed as a selective source of bromine radicals or electrophilic bromine in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly for allylic and benzylic bromination, as well as in the Hofmann rearrangement and other nitrogen-centered transformations. Its primary industrial applications are as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals—including active ingredients, fine chemical building blocks, and polymer modifiers.

N-Bromosuccinimide is a brominated succinimide used as a chemical reagent in radical substitution and electrophilic addition reactions in organic synthesis.
