Abstract

Abstract A simple, efficient, and mild method for selective bromination of some activated aromatic compounds using potassium bromide in the presence of benzyltriphenylphosphonium peroxodisulfate in nonaqueous solution is reported. The results obtained revealed good to excellent selectivity between ortho and para positions of phenols and methoxyarenes.
