Abstract
Environmentally-friendly Wohl-Ziegler bromination of benzylic methyl groups was successfully carried out in ionic-liquid and solvent-free systems, to produce the corresponding benzylic bromides in good to moderate yields.
Key words
Wohl-Ziegler bromination - benzylic bromide - N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) - 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) - benzoyl peroxide - ionic-liquid - solvent-free
