Abstract A new protocol for the oxidative bromination of aminoanthracene-9, 10-dione, which is highly deactivated towards the electrophilic substitution is investigated. The peracid, nonanebis (peroxoic acid), possesses advantages such as better stability at room temperature, it is easy to prepare and non-shock sensitiv as compared to the conventional peracids. The present protocol has a broad scope for the bromination of various ...
