Serum chloride analysis, bromide detection, and the diagnosis of bromism
Abstract:
Current methods for determining serum chloride concentration vary in specificity. Laboratory detection of bromide in serum is usually dependent on spuriously high chloride values. In the absence of historical information, the chemical identification of bromide in serum may be the only diagnostic sign of bromism. Bromide may be found in as many as 1% of sera obtained from inpatients of a general hospital. Ion-selective electrodes and some thiocyanate methods for chloride analysis can be highly sensitive to bromide (interference). Chloride electrodes are also sensitive to iodide.

Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
