Abstract

Abstract An easy and rapid method for the α-bromination of ketones using N- bromosuccinimide (NBS) catalyzed by silica gel in methanol under reflux conditions was developed. The expected products were formed in excellent isolated yields within a short period of time (5–20 min). Major advantages of the present procedure include use of inexpensive and readily available catalyst, exclusion of pre-and post-chemical treatment ...
