4 Test methods
4.1 Appearance: Visual.
4.2 Content
4.2.1 Test Procedure
Accurately weigh the N-Bromosuccinimide sample 0.2g (accurate to 0.0001g) and add 100ml distilled water to dissolve, when completely dissolved, add 5ml ice acetic acid, and then add 15% potassium iodide 10ml, close the iodine bottle plug, shake well, seal with distilled water, place in the dark for 15 minutes, take out the shake, and then titrate with 0.1N sodium thiosulfate standard solution until the end At the point, the color changed from red brown to light yellow, shook with 2ml 0.5% starch indicator, titrated until the blue color disappeared. (Record each data)
4.2.2 Calculation formula:
Available bromine =N×V ×0.0399× 100% / W
Content = available bromine × 177.98/79.90
Where: 0.03996-- equivalent number of micrograms of NBS
Molar concentration of sodium thiosulfate
V-- The volume of sodium thiosulfate consumed
4.3 Loss on drying
4.3.1 Instruments
The following instruments are used in this method:
Vacuum drying oven.
4.3.2 Test Procedure
First weigh the dry empty weighing bottle as m1, take this product 1-2G into the weighing bottle and weigh it as m, put it in the oven at 80℃ and bake to constant weight (about 3 hours), take out the weighing bottle and weigh it as m2.
4.3.3 Calculation Formula
X=(m1-m2)/(m1-m)*100%... ............. (1)
Formula:
X: Loss on drying, %;
m: empty measuring bottle mass, unit gram (g);
m1: The total mass of the sample after being put into the weighing bottle, in grams (g);
m2: Total mass of treated sample and weighing bottle, in grams (g).
4.4 Melting Point
According to GB/T617-1988, WRS-1B digital melting point instrument was used, the preset temperature was 173℃, the heating rate was 1.0℃/min, and the measured melting range was between 175.0-183.0 ℃.

N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) (CAS: 128-08-5) is a chemical reagent used in radical substitution, electrophilic addition, and electrophilic substitution reactions in organic chemistry. NBS can be a convenient source of Br•, the bromine radical. It is used as organic synthetic raw material for bromination reaction. Versatile brominating agent. 
NBS is a widely used mild brominating agent and used as chemical intermediate and building block for several chemical production processes, especially in pharma related applications.
Although NBS is easier and safer to handle than bromine, precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation. NBS should be stored in a refrigerator. NBS will decompose over time giving off bromine. Pure NBS is white, but it is often found to be off-white or brown colored by bromine.
In general, reactions involving NBS are exothermic. Therefore, extra precautions should be taken when used on a large scale. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Brand NOx. Common brominating agent. Oxidizes silyl ethers to aldehydes in the presence of AIBN.
