Sodium hypobromite, NaBrO, is the sodium salt of hypobromous acid. It can be prepared by the reaction of bromine with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at 0 °C or lower.[1][2] It has long been known as a strong oxidizing agent in solution,[3][4][5] but the solid pentahydrate was not isolated until 1952.[2]
