Ozonization of 2 surface waters with enhanced levels of Br– results in the formation of a group of previously unidentified, labile compounds identified as bromohydrins. The compounds are isolated by liquid-liquid extraction and identified by a combination of GC coupled with IR spectroscopy (GC/FT-IR) and GC coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using electron impact and chem. ionization sources, with 2% NH3 in CH4 as the reagent gas. The principal bromohydrin byproduct is 3-bromo-2-methyl-2-butanol, which was confirmed by independent synthesis and comparison of spectral data. At least 6 other bromohydrins are formed during the ozonization/bromination process. These compounds are also formed by reaction of the natural water with aqueous Br, irresp. of prior ozonization, but the nature of their precursors is unknown.
