FeBr₃-catalyzed dibromination of alkenes and alkynes

Department of Chemistry, Lishui University, Lishui 323000, China

Received Date: 21 January 2011

Fund Project: We are grateful for the financial support by Lishui University Opening Foundation for advanced talents.

The dibromination of alkenes and alkynes with bromosuccinimide and sodium bromide catalyzed by FeBr₃ under mild conditions has been developed. The trans-dibromo compounds were exclusively obtained with excellent yields.
