Abstract

Bromination of pyrrole derivatives, carbazole and aromatic amines using the DMSO/HBr system affords high yields of the corresponding bromo compounds. Temperature control used in the bromination of anilines helped to promote selective formation of mono- or di-brominated products. Simple operation, low toxicity and high selectivity make this a promising new procedure for the bromination of aromatic compounds.
