In organic chemistry, brosyl (or ''para''-bromophenylsulfonyl) group is a
functional group
In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions. The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the res ...

2. This group is usually introduced using the compound
brosyl chloride, BrC
6H
4SO
2Cl, which forms
sulfonyl esters and amides of ''p''-bromophenylsulfonic acid. The term brosylate refers to the anion of ''p''-bromophenylsulfonic acid (BrC
