Abstract

An efficient and regioselective monobromination of electron-rich aromatic compounds is reported in which iodobenzene is used as the recyclable catalyst in combination with m-chloroperbenzoic acid as the terminal oxidant. The bromination of electron-rich aromatic compounds with lithium bromide was fast in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature, providing regioselective monobrominated products in good yields.

Key words

monobromination - hypervalent iodine reagent - catalytic oxidation
