Abstract

Ultrasound and microwave assisted bromination reactions of various alkylaryls with N- bromosuccinimide, either neat or in water, shows diverse chemoselectivity. Thus, ring substitution occurs in water with ultrasound, whereas with microwaves both side-chain α- bromination and ring substitution occur. With neat reactants, side-chain α-bromination predominates for microwave assisted reactions. In the presence of water the ...
