Abstract

An efficient and environmentally benign bromination of various aromatic compounds using aN aqueous I 2 O 5 -KBr system at room temperature has been developed in this work. A series of aromatic compounds such as acetophenones, benzaldehydes, benzoic acids, anilines, amides, and aminopyridine have been successfully brominated in excellent regioselectivities and good yields under the typical reaction conditions. The features of KBr as brominating ...
