Zinc bromide supported on hydroxyapatite (Zn-HAP) promotes the synthesis of 3-substituted indoles. Zinc bromide (ZnBr2) may be used for the following studies: Removal of dimethoxytrityl ethers from deoxynucleosides. Removal of N-acyl protecting group in nucleoside derivatives. Alkylation of O-silylated dienolates of unsaturated ketones and esters. As catalyst in the synthesis of α-perfluoroalkylated homoallylic alcohols.
