Abstract

The ammonium metavanadate, mimicking vanadate-dependent metalloenzymes, efficiently catalyses the halogenation of a variety of organic substrates in dilute conditions in moderate to good yields using dilute hydrogen peroxide (30%) as an oxidizing agent exhibiting remarkable ortho selectivity with electron-rich aromatics.
