Abstract: Bromotrimethylsilane reacts with p-hydroxybenzyl alcohols, p-hydroxystyrenes and related quinone methides, respectively giving p-hydroxy-α-bromides. α-Bromides are formed also when a phenol hydroxy group is protected. Milled wood lignin (black spruce) added to bromotrimethylsilane in dioxane solution gives a product containing about 20 % of bromine in a side chain, but no silicon.
