Abstract

Highly regioselective ring bromination of aromatic compounds has been accomplished with high yields and good purity using dioxane dibromide (DD) under solvent‐free conditions. Notable features of this methodology include operational simplicity, rapid reactions, excellent control over the degree of bromination, and tolerance of various functional groups during the reaction.
