在加熱或光照條件，羧酸經(jīng)過氧化汞和鹵素（主要是溴或碘）處理，羧基取代為相應(yīng)的鹵素的反應(yīng)。此反應(yīng)與類似也自由基機理。此反應(yīng)與相比，可以用羧酸和氧化汞一鍋法進行鹵代，而不用于先轉(zhuǎn)化為相應(yīng)的羧酸銀鹽。

反應(yīng)機理

反應(yīng)實例

Chlorobromobenzene (2). A solution of p-chlorobenzoic acid 1 (1.56 g, 10 mmol) in CCl4 (50 mL) and red HgO (15 mmol) was refluxed and irradiated (100 Wbulb). Bromine (15 mmol) was added via a syringe. After 3 h the mixture was cooled to 20 C and washed (aq NaHCO3, 30 mL). Usual workup afforded 1.5 g of 2 (80%).
