Determination of the bromine index of aromatic hydrocarbons by coulometric titration according to ASTM D1492
Summary
The bromine index indicates the degree of unsaturation and relies on the simple addition of bromine to the double bond of alkenes. One mole of bromine is consumed for each mol of carbon-carbon double bond. The bromine index indicates the olefin content in aromatic hydrocarbons. This Application Note describes the determination by coulometric titration according to ASTM D1492.
