Abstract

A combination of HBr and trans-3, 5-dihydroperoxy-3, 5-dimethyl-1, 2-dioxolane as a new and powerful oxidant was found effective for facile bromination of different aromatic compounds at room temperature in water as a green solvent. Mild reaction conditions, high selectivity and yield, high reaction rate and non-toxicity are some of the major advantages of this synthetic protocol.
