Abstract

Tribromide-based ionic liquids have been synthesized and investigated as efficient bromination agents. The different physicochemical properties of the reaction media, which depend on the cation structure, have been used to improve the efficiency of the bromination process.

Key words

electrophilic addition - ionic liquids - stereoselectivity - bromination - green chemistry
